    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.
