John T--- I don't mean to stick my nose in your business, your a very knowledgeable guy with a lot of experience. There are a lot of good products out there, on that engine you don't need any additives, just good oil and a good filter. I'm pretty sure that engine has a roller cam and lifters, they tend to be slightly noisy. Also the 454 is noted to use some oil, they always have, completely normal. In my world from past experience I would never use a Fram filter ever again and I would also never use Pennzoil ever again. I know Pennzoil is not the same as the older stuff but just the name for me is a turn off. I have seen a lot of engines idle with the oil light on with Mobil 1, just saying what I have seen.
