OK, I hate to go here again, but with GM discontinuing EOS, and the ever
evolving state of oils, I'd be interested in the latest thinking on which
oils are recommended, as I will be doing my annual oil change in a couple of
months. Currently I've Valvoline VR1 w/ EOS in, and I've about 1500-2000
total miles on the engine since rebuild.
