Default 496HO....what oil
Ok so I have a late year production 496. Dealer recommended 10w30 mobile 1. Needless to say....don't like it. Pressure is a bit low and I think I'm banging off the rev limiter. So....what weight conventional and what weight synetic ru guys running? Thx

20-50 Quicksilver. That's what previous owner had always used.

I recommend AMSOIL 15w-50 Racing Oil, which is 100% synthetic.

Anything heavier than a 10w30 would be a good start.

What brand of heavier to buy is a whole new issue.
