I have been using 15W50 Mobil 1 for several years and maybe 75,000 miles total in the 352s. Also use it in the Harley. Starts good here in the mild, Kentucky winters and also does well in the summer. I also used it in the 352s when living in the California desert, 1997 thru 2000.

I am thinking it may be overkill as far as thickness, but so far it has not hurt anything, and I change oil & filter every 10,000 miles religiously. The first 5,000 the oil still if fairly clean on the dipstick, and at 10,000 it looks about like dyno oil at 5,000. Since I hate to change oil, this is an added bonus with synthetic.
