Folks, I have never found an OEM battery to be worth spit. Now I'm not a Chevy guy historically and my 2002' 7.3 Powerstroke might have been the exception - but it had two batteries. Toyota's - all garbage. I have a new Subie 3.6R with 1,000 miles on it in the driveway (nice little rig for the wife) - I expect that battery to poop the bed. I have no indication of it - outside the Subaru Outback forum - which says plan on it.
That's consistent with my new Tundra's, 4Runners and other new cars over the years (more years than I wish to count). MFG's by in large buy millions of batteries. It's not just sitting on a lot. Once that battery is built it will start to degrade on the shelf.
I tend to swap out OEM batteries pretty quick. East PENN / Deka are the best. I'm not sure fitment for the 6th Gen Camaro 2SS- . For not a lot of clams replacing OEM Battery seems to be a no-brainer. However I did see a post indicating GM sourced good batteries.
Will be interesting to see.
