Looking for advice on an "ideal" motor oil for my car and climate.
Car- 1999 Pontiac Trans Am LS1 V8 (stock)
Factory Rec- 5W-30
Location- Phoenix, AZ
Drive style- Moderate
Drive amount- Infrequent, mainly weekends around town or a few times a year to drag strip. I'd estimate less than 5k miles per year.
Issues- Recently purchased car used with 45k miles. Previous original owner used Mobil 1 10W-30 since new. Car has been living in the Los Angeles area since new.
Preference- Full synthetic, cost is not a major concern. Just looking for brand and viscosity recs for type of engine and climate. Right now looking at Amsoil Z-ROD 10W-30. Have also heard the Amsoil European 5W-40 is a good oil for LS1, but looking for additional feedback.
Thanks!
