Best oil for LT-1?

[Locascio]

Ok my new LT-1 has about 6 hours of break in time on it and I have been told the first oil change needs to happen....I am thinking mobil1 synthetic? What do you guys use? Thanks!

Mobil 1 10-40 ever since the first 10 hr service back in 1996! 15 years of hard 36 mph skiing and it still runs perfect.

i've been using mobile one synthetic 15-50...[i have the LQ9 though]...it's a pricey oil jobber, but money well spent imho

I use mobil 1 in my LT-1, Many say it's a waste of $, but one oil change a year....I can afford it.

Honda GN4 is a INCREDIBLE conventional oil. I use it in everything but the car & truck the only reason I do not use it in there is because it is a little pricey.

with the all roller assembly I would start the engine, make sure everything is getting oil at the rockers and pressure gauge, set lash if needed ( Comp ProMag 1.6 :-) shut it down drain the Dino oil and refill using synthetic rotella 10-40 or the Valvoline VR and flat foot the engine. Only used WIX filters too
