    +1 and get it at Costco. The napa gold filter is a wix. The puroilator is also a good choice.

    VR1 is what I always ran.

    God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

    If I am not mistaken, I think that the Wix filter is Oreily's house brand also. I know for a fact that their oil is Havoline just for future references.

    Started up my newly rebuilt engine with orielly 5w30 with melling zinc additive, after about 6000 miles while on a road trip the oil pressure on the highway was lower than I liked. Every since then I've run 10w40 and oil pressure is about 50lbs while cruising.

    Brand is really not important to me anymore. Ran the factory 5.3 in my avalanche till 173k on Mobil 1 and the internals still looked like an old cruddy nasty engine.

    I actually put some 15W50 Mobile1 in my truck, because it was availible and a good deal. Surprisingly(to me anyways) my valvetrain has quieted down a good bit and my oil pressure is a good bit more consistent.

    CASTOL GTX 5w30 and a fram filter, i use it as the breakin and everything after. Just what ive always used so i dont know about everything else. never had any issues with my engine. plus its not the most expensive and if something blows up you wont be pissed about all the money you spent on oil

    heard bad about fram filters collapsing recently so I swapped to acdelco
    Castrol is also what I run in everything I've ever had and still have! Never had a single problem

    Fram filters are the DEVIL Bobby Boucher! Mine gets Mobil 1 and the biggest Wix I can. I forget the part number but it's twice the size.
