Hello. New guy here. Been looking around and I saw on one of stickies here that it seemed to be best to just put out there what I have and the help will come? I'll give it a shot. Any and all input is greatly appreciated. I want to do this right.
I have a 2008 silverado 5.3 4x4
I have a brand new custom build coming basically a cam and punched out to a 5.7. Long tube headers, air intake tube, cat back exhaust. Custom tuned as well. Buolder and tuner are expecting 450-475hp Don't know how any of this matter but the sticky said to be specific.
My wife drives this truck mostly and she can have a lead foot. Especially if she gets behind something to drive. I tend to typically drive everything like I stole it. Don't get me wrong, I take care of my stuff, but I like to DRIVE my vehicles if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I am going to go exactly by what the builder says for break in. In the break in instructions from them it says 20-50w valvoline conventional. I'm assuming that is 20w50? I am going to stick with this for warranty purposes for break in and first few oil changes.
Where to go next? I'd really appreciate some knowledgeable feedback which is why I came to BITOG. Please help!
