Once I put the higher viscocity oil in for a track day that is when my oil pump started to fail.
I ran about 3 morning sessions and had to leave due to the tires becoming shredded on the outside face.
I drove home then changed the oil the next day but the damage was already done.

Then there is chevy to worry about.
The chevy field technician said that the oil filter was installed "incorrectly" and i had the wrong oil in it.
The pump failed, and when pressed Chevy said that they will only pay 30% of dealer invoice for repair because I tracked the car, installed the oil filter wrong and used the wrong oil; which is BS.

Proceed at your own risk.
