5w10? the lowest i've used is 5w20, and that's because honda uses it now (and i got employee pricing. ) 5w30 is what is recommended.

 

so i wuold be okay with 5w30 / 5w20 ... with a high mileage motor?

 

^^^ with a higher mileage motor I'd go with 10w30 maybe... it all depends... if you're leaking now I'd say go with 10w30 if not stick with the 5w30...

 

i would do 10w-30

 

If your engine is a 6 cyl you shold use 10w-30 if not and it a 4 cyl use 5w -30, if you have a auto-user's,mechanic book for your car when you bought it will say in there, if not you can always visit any auto store and they should have a book for you or just ask one of the workers

WTH are you talking about? Seriously man. If you don't know how many cylinders the engine in a bone stock 94 ls has then don't be giving out advice.

 

seys 5w30 on the cap on the valve cover... so i would assume thats what you should use. I like using castrol gtx high milage... its cheap and pertty good stuff.
