Owners manual says: "15W-50 full synthetic engine oil may also be used for track use" even for the LT1 engines.

Out of my experience with my LT4 engine, you won't probably even notice oil consumption when using 15W-50.
Atleast if your engine is in a good condition...
Yes, you are right. If Camaro wouldn't be my daily, I would swap with 15W-50 oil instead.

"15W-50 full synthetic engine oil may also be used for track use and is required on the ZL1 1LE, but after track use must be changed back to 0W-40 dexos2 for street use."
