I personally have run Mobil1 0w-30 in my GSR for the past 250,000+ miles, since back in the mid-2000's.
Of course, after I bought it I dropped the oil and ran what I like to run in my cars/trucks which a Mobil Delvac product 5w-30. It’s a synthetic but it’s more used for the heavy duty market. I checked the oil some 4000 miles later and it had a reddish look to it just like yours. After the next oil change I never saw it again.
Yooo this happened to me, have you used a high mileage type of oil? Apparently when they start to burn up they can change to a reddish hue, I went back to normal Mobil 1 and it’s back to gold
Grab a good quality 0/w20 synthetic. I'm currently using Pennzoil and a Fram filter.
I run Pennzoil ultra platinum oil and GM syncromesh trans fluid
Ultra premium is the best oil after amsoil, but amsoil is too expensive for this car, pennzoil is the best and cheap
I've been using penzoil platinum
I’ve used nothing but Pennzoil Platinum since the free oil changes ran out, 150k or so now, and never had a problem.
5w40 if its drinking oil during vtec, I usually use Mobil but get whatever cheapest
Motul. Really anything except Mobil 1, that shit kills EJ’s.
