I've been using Valvoline Max life myself, my Camaro has 100+ miles on it.
BTW, any of you guys know exactly how much oil is supposed to be put in on a 3.8?
When I changed my oil a couple weeks ago I used about 5.5 quarts of Mobil 1 5w-30. That includes priming the oil filter too.

I just got a rebuild and I chose to go with Castrol GTX for break-in. After I hit 3000 miles, I'm going to be going with synthetic. My oil of choice is going to be Royal Purple.

I usually buy a name brand but I don't have any particular one that I use. Lately it's been Penziol synthetic. I haven't noticed and difference between any of the oils I've used Penzoil, Casto, Quaker State etc. I've seen Mobil at the place I shop at and that is one of the cheapest (price wise) of the name brands but I haven't used it. Is Mobil 1 as good as any other name brand?
