Green oil is the best oil and Driven GP-1 fills my oil pans. Don’t take my word for it. Go to an NHRA National Event and ask around. You’ll see & hear this same sentiment . . . .

It’s always fascinated me that the 350/370 LT1 was $158 more expensive than the 454/390 LS5 motor. Chevrolet was certainly proud of that screaming little Mouse motor! It’s also interesting to note...
