Anyone have any experience (good or bad) using this motor oil. I am due for an oil change on my 2000 and am contemplating this one.

oil change on my 2000 and am
I use a 10w30 most of the time and have used 15w50 with no oil related problem. mobil one has a 5w30 that also shouldn't be a problem.

My LS-1 is sort of similar to your LS-1. Book seys:
"...Do not use other viscosity oils such as SAE 20W-50." ...Page 6-15.
Now, if all the bearing surfaces in the engine have been changed then, do it.

REPLY: I used 20 w. 50 AMSOIL synthetic in my 1970 Vette for awhile, but it doesnt really benefit any for a street driven car. Plus, it worsens your fuel mileage . It was considerably thicker than 10 w 30 -- that i remember.
And you may not be getting adequate lubrication or cooling if the design clearances didn't take 50W into consideration.
Thanks all. I'm sticking with 10-30
