Bought the car Friday 5/26 in California, changed the fluids, Mobil 1 10w40 high Mileage Oil, Fram XG5 Ultra Synthetic Filter
Then drove it 3150 miles cross country with my son, the story of the trip is HERE
Car has 125265 miles / 3280 OCI
I used Lucas High Mileage Oil Stabilizer as a top-up oil and added 1 quart over the whole trip.
At 2000 rpm in 6th gear the car easy cruises at 90mph. We drove for long stretches in the 90 to 105mph range just following the fastest cars on the highway and paying attention to Waze and our radar detector.
Cut the Fram filter open, it of course is well built, 99% at 20 micron, wire backed synthetic blend media. The XG5 is an oversized filter for L98 engines that a little more than 2" longer than the stock filter, but it doesn't extend down below the oil pan.
I'm really happy with this first UOA on a brand new to us 1989 Corvette.
