sarge sage is an ***, most oils are the same and require basic maintenance to prevent sludge. Ohh, and where sludge comes from, but your still a bit to young to hear that..

Of course I still have about 8 pages to read......

I scanned a few pages, yeah, regular maintenance, yada yada, regular oil changes, yada, oil carries dirt yada, filters are good yada.

He (Sarge) is very proficient at the English language. Never heard of him before this thread....He's my new hero!

I gave RP a shot and it's done well. I didn't log for any mpg differences at all, but it does feel like the oil pressure is more consistent and the motor seems smoother at idle. I know that all can be effected by other variables, but overall I've been impressed with the product and it does last quite a long time. I've been told by various GM technicians to just change the oil when the oil life reaches 0% disregarding mileage or whatever else you may have looked at before. I need to change the oil (waiting for cam swap), but I think I got like 8k miles on that one. Just my opinion.

6 qts is correct.

I've heard BG is coming out with a synthetic oil that's supposed to be kick-***.

i thought about making the swap to amsoil but rp is easier to find around here.

I guess I'm a 23yr old old school guy.

I use 10w-30 dinosaur oil and AC Delco filters. Both get changed every 3000miles. I can't see having an oil related problem with that.

so true. I haven't seen amsoil anywhere except an offroad shop that carried their filters. One of my customers is a RP employee

They have amsiol here at the local farm store, but I can't justify paying the $7+/qt.
I know it's good stuff, but I don't think it's that good. I've been using mobil one changing at about 5000 miles and all is fine. If we were talking about conventional oils I would have to agree with the pennzoil sucks argument, but I think the Pennziol Platinum synthetic stuff is actually good oil. As far as Royal Purple goes, while I have no good evidence to back it up that stuff appears to be good for releasing a couple more horses out of the engine, but I feel that it probably does so with less engine protection than some of the others possibly due to a weaker film strength. Just my opinion on the subject. It really doesn't matter much what you use as long as you change it when it needs to be changed.
