Default Oil
What Kind Of Oil Is Everyone Running. I Have A 2001 Scsb, Z-71, Hypertech, Throttle Body Spacer, Airaid Intake, Gibson Shorties, No Muffleers. I Switched To Synthetic At About 25000, And I Have About 52 On The Truck Now. I Have Been Running 5w-30 In It But I Saw That Mobil One Has 5w-50 Out Now, But I Didn't Know If It Was Good Or Not. Any Help Would Be Appreciated.

I dont know much about 5w-50 but i do know that if your vehicle hasn't been running synthetic oil its whole life that it can cause leaks by swithing to it
