I can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone, including my dealer.
You CAN switch to 0w-40 for daily driving purposes if you want to, but you do not HAVE to. If you want to keep using 5w-30 for daily driving and 15w-50 for track use only, that is acceptable. The ZL1 1LE requires (as I understand it from the performance manual) the use of 15w-50 for track duty.

The 5w-30 variants that are acceptable for the LT1/4 are far more numerous and usually cheaper than the 0w-40 ESP, so there is that.
