Post your latest oil change

I think Torco was a brand of racing oil from the seventies, IIRC. I wonder if someone bought the rights to the name? Or maybe they branched out into street oil? I wonder if it is API rated?

They've been around since 1950 and still making oil for race and street vehicles, basically anything with a gas engine

Not really. Torco is a mainstream motorcycle oils vendor. The car oil is new to me, but Torco has been popular, especially with offroad bikes, for decades.
It's available at many shops. Not a boutique or hard to get brand.

Son’s 2010 Silverado with 4.8 LS engine with 170,000 miles.
Out: Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 wth 10,000 miles.
In: Quaker State UD 5w30
Champion 10575 oil filter
These were on clearance a few years ago on Rock Auto and have the old bypass pressure making them useable where a 10060 is normally used . Included is a pic showing how the 10575, although longer than the 10060, fits fine in the corner of recess of the cast oil pan. Newer Fram 10575’s have the higher bypass pressure, making them unsuitable for this trick. They are used on 2014 up LS engines.

Nvm, figured it out. It looked like they only sold oil change kits when I first found the motor oils. I may have to try the molygen 5w30, especially if it’s going to be free.
