Mobil-One. I'll never use anything else. I put 310,000 [Eek!] miles on my '89 K1500 on Mobil-One and Slick-50. I change the filter every 3,000 miles, oil and filter every 6,000 miles, and Slick-50 every 50,000 miles.

I put a new motor in my truck in February because I didn't want to put several thousand vacation miles on such an old motor this summer. The mechanic I had do the swap couldn't believe I had that many miles on it - he said he'd never seen the inside of an engine that clean before. And in truth, my old motor was a better performer than the new. [Confused]

Did Mobil 1 come in the 99 LS1 and if so what is the best weight for a hot climate like Florida, 10W30? Also what is the best oil for the rear end in the 99?
