Lot's of good oil & fluids out there.Everyone has a personal preference.

Here's what I do in my 02Z.
Oil:Pennzoil Plat 5w30
Oil Filter:Purolator Pure One PL14006
Trans & Diff:RP
Clutch & Brake:Valvoline Syn Dot 4

I use the same brands in all my rods.No problems.Opinions vary.

There are so many synthetic brands out there now.. They are all good. As long as it meets the GM requirements and you reset your DIC after every oil change, then do a change when you get down to 0 oil life remaining you will be fine.. Oils have come a long way. I've never seen an oil related engine failure with any of the synthetic brands

Funny this just came up with RP cause I just used RP for the first time today. Was always a Mobil 1 user since my 92 ZR1 came with it.
