Your Preferred Motor Oil?

[Puckrobber]

Hello everyone! Since our GM's are a bit older, with a few miles on them, I was curious as to what flavor of motor oil you're giving them to keep them going? I just got back in the Tahoe family this last week after being away for a couple of years, and plan on getting her a fresh oil change in the next couple of weeks.

I'm planning on using Valvoline 5W-30 conventional at first, since she has sat for a few months before I bought her. Afterwards, I'll upgrade to the synthetic version for regular use. The engine was rebuilt at 120K, so, no leaks to worry about using high mileage oils yet.

So, what does your Tahoe/Yukon love?

No one has called me on it yet but I use the Amazon basics 10w-30 full synthetic with absolutely no problems. Made at the same plant as Mobil 1 and in side by side tests on numerous sites, it either has tied Mobil 1 or beat it in many tests.

But yea, another "what oil should I use" thread. Yawn!

They aren't and please ignore the peanut gallery. Everyone will be happy to help answer any questions and the previous comments are only in jest. There are some links that will help you find the pre-existing threads and some more "humor" along the way. Just poke right back at em.

Yea, bring it on! Not an issue but is brought up on a regular basis and most of us can just save our responses and then copy/paste them in new threads. It is all in fun.

We should just add what oil and filter we use to our signatures LOL!

But then some guys would be changing their signature every time there is a sale at Walmart or Auto Zone.
