In light of the upcoming Camaro Fest, I want to be prepared. I have 4100 miles on it and will be competing in the road course events. That said, I There are what seems to be many different discussions of which I seem to be confused. Before I dump some odd oil in my car, I want to be Crystal clear. So the owners manual states this.... "

6.2L (LT1) Engine

Change the engine oil to 0W-40 or
5W-40 that meets the dexos2

™

specification. If this oil is not
available, the following oils can be
used as an alternative: Valvoline

SYNPOWER MST 5W-40, Mobil

ESP Formula M 5W-40. See

Capacities and Specifications 0 3 "

I'v e searched the entire internet on 0w40 and 5w40 that meets dexos2 and none that I can find. I also want to stick with mobil1. Moving on to the next alternative. I see that the mobil1ESP formula M 5w40 which is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003EQ9QAW...g%3Dwhois03-20 it seems like its geared towards Diesels? the heck??? if that's accurate, I want to be clear before I use this.

2) also, I plan on flushing my brake fluid out with Dot4. what are you all using? I see some people using Motol? How many qts are you putting in and what's your process of flushing? I'm guessing a turkey baster, and putting in DOT4, then flushing via the calipers?

3) Transmission. Since I have an M6, and according to the owners manual, (again would like to stick with Mobil1, but seen some people use others, rather than the GM brand. what are you using and why? the notchyness doesn't bother me like some do.
