10-30 Rotella. I have never cut open a HP Fram but the Extra Guard elements are crap. A Pure1, Wix, K&N, Mobil 1.
I have heard the HP still have the crap elements. I can see how they collapse. That won't happen with the Pure. The elemant and ends are held together with a rubbery type stuff. It i hard to pull apart. The Fram didn't have anything to hold the element in place.

Use your wix filter and the Valvoline oil because of its high zinc content. With the valvoline you shouldn't need the additive but it won't hurt on breakin.

Napa Gold is one of the best and what I use on my 496. I'm sold on the rotella T 15/40 or even the lucas oils 20/50.
I've got 75lbs psi at cold idle and minimum of 35 psi what really warmed up.

Don't go too thick, you can open up your bearing clearances. Use what is specified for your vehicle and what its used for. Rotella really isn't a good choice. Neither is gear oil or mineral oil. here is a app for oil selection http://classic.valvoline.com/crmo/vehicle.aspUse a additive product for the zinc content you want for flat hydraulic lifters. Don't use the synthetics for engine oil. Great Lathe oil, drill press....

Don't use any of that crap in your engine. Find a place that has Brad Penn break in oil (its the green oil) and get yourself a Wix filter.
