I use Driven Racing Oil. They make direct-injection specific GM kits.

GM is the one having to warranty our LT1/LT4 equipped cars, and since they bothered to specifically formulate an oil for it, I'll assume the engineers considered the pre-detonation risk being raised by Driven (albeit for turbocharged DI engines mind you) when determining the oil additive pack requirement for the Camaro/Corvette. |

Meanwhile my engine makes 1059 WHP on a stock LT1 crank running that oil so I’ll probably keep using Driven since I’m happy with my results.

I must have missed noticing that you were running a boosted engine (that's a LOT of power you are making!), and therefore have the kind of setup that Driven is selling to.

Thanks! I feel the same way, Driven really don’t seem to be chasing the standard “OEM maintenance/warranty” guys and agree that the standard GM-recommended oils are perfectly fine as well (which I ran boosted up to around 800 WHP with no issue). But I’ve been happy with the Driven product so far, hope it stays that way lol.
