5w30, lots of people use Royal Purple, but any decent quality stuff will do, these aren't precious engines.

I forget the part number, personally I just always phone AAS (Advanced Auto Systems) who are up in Newcastle but are a Royal Purple distributor in the UK, Stuart and the guys have worked on Monaros / VXR8s for years, just tell him what you have (LS1 Monaro) and he'll sort you the right filter and right amount of oil delivered next day

Ordered thanks

Here's the application you want - can also do useful stuff like change the temperature gauge to more accurately reflect temps.
