Run synthetic oil only with the QSV unless you do UOA to make sure you aren't torching the limits of conventional. Conventional oil has limits and will let you know it $quick$ when you step over the line. The QSV holds more heat in the engine and in some uses like *ahem* mine is hotter than conventional oil can handle. Last conventional from the QSV burb had viscosity step up nearly 2 grades and other indications of oil overheating failure. Synthetic did not have that issue. As always replace the oil cooler hoses with something that can take the heat and synthetic oil as the GM lines simply won't.
Yes, I can and have seriously ruined engine oil. Yes, I do UOA for a reason... Even with the '93 Owner's Manual short 2,500 mile severe duty oil change interval you can ruin the oil!

I will try synthetic now that I found where my oil was going. Hopefully oil usage will be down now.

Well I'm getting my truck put together. For now I am going to run an old stock turbo spec 6.2 pump I got for $200.
Working on what I will need for the bd valve install. Have some missing parts in the used kit, might just run the ATT as is until I get it all sorted out. (Don't want to permanently loose ac)
I have to get it running by the 15th and be out of my current house. The rush sucks but it's lighting a fire under me.
