While at the NHRA drags this weekend I went by the manufactures alley, normally when I ask some sort of technical question I get some Lame answer of their website or a 1800 number.
Went by the Castrol tent, their was a real engineer taking the questions. I was interested in hearing his thoughts on the revised 0W30(GERMAN made only avail. at autozone) it struck a soft spot with him and spilled his guts. I explained my situation and he fully agreed 0W30 Syntec is the right oil for a LS1 or where ever 5w30 is recommended. The oil is actually made in Belgium and is sold as Castrol SLX synthetic in europe.
They have a view point in europe that less frequent oil changes is better for the environment, thus this oil is designed for extended drain intervals. Synthetic oil is more mainstream there.
For the same price as M1, Castrol Syntec 0w30 is really impressive. I would suggest the use of this oil in anyones GTO.
