    Thanks Roger, it is VR-1 and since I bought it at O'Reilly's I'm gonna see if they will swap my 6qt case for 30w VR-1.

    What about Lucas Oil Stabilizer, any comments?

    Not necessary unless the engine is shot and you're trying to dump it and I wouldn't run straight weight oil, 10W30/40 in your oil of choice.

    Em, one thing I can add is if your engine has a flat tappet cam, you might want to get a zinc additive to help keep the lobes on the cam and lifters from tearing themselves up. Most if not all oils don't have the zinc anymore and a lot of flat tappet cam failures have popped up because of this.
