Vette(s): 1988 Coupe. 25,205 original miles.
Does anyone know if Pennzoil SAE 5W-30 oil with API Service SN can be used in place of the original SAE 5W-30 oil with API Service SF/CC in a 1988 Corvette?

Vette(s): Black 1987 Corvette Engine-383, 450 HP. Transmission- 700R4 with shift kit and 2300-2500 monster torque converter Wheels- 9 1/2 front, 11" rear.
As far as I know Pennzoil can be used in anything. Look on their website and it will tell you everything you need to know. I believe the new oils are better than the old ones.

Like russ1953 said, the answer is yes regardless of brand of oil.
