What do you guys think. Is this better than the 10w 30 that the 4th gen normally use?

I’d just use what the manufacturer recommends. In a hot state where it doesn’t get to cold, 5w30 wouldn’t be bad. Checkout Amsoil site they have the temperatures and what’s recommended.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Unless you are operating in extremely cold climates, there is no point in running 0W30 and it is actually worse at hotter temperatures.
If you want something better than off the shelf conventional / synthetic oil I would look at Amsoil's signature series. That's what I run in my Camaro (I run their OE stuff in my truck)
This is Amsoils 5W30 Signature series and their 10W30 Signature series

Thanks Mike had it backwards. I use Amsoil 10w30 in the Camaro and Buick and 5w30 in my truck. Use the signature series. Do yearly oil changes since the each vehicle gets driven less than 5k a year. Also use their oil filters. It’s a bit ovekill but I’d rather be safe than sorry. The oil still looks good after a year also.Last edited by ssms5411; 03-06-2020, 09:23 PM.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Nice! If you order more than 1 case of 12 quarts a year I recommend you sign up as a preferred customer as you will save yourself some money.
I have a dealer account with them so I can always help you out as well if you have any questions!

Just click on the join now beside the "learn more" button about half way down the page.
If you need to try and cost out if it is worth it shoot me a PM with what you want to get and I can price it both ways for you.
