This is a stupid take. Use 0W40 on all model years. It's the exact same engine.

What's messed up is 0W40 Supercar is the oil for Camaros and Corvettes yet the local O'Reilly's and AutoZone etc. don't carry anything but the Euro blend. Super frustrating and a diamond in the rough if you do find it there.

What a pain for those who street their ZLE cars and run periodically weekend warrior road course stuff. The manual states use 0w-40 Supercar unless you're racing it, then run 15w-50. Wonder what harm there could be just keeping the 15w-50 in for the street at all times?

I just got the 0w40 M1 SC from AutoZone, some stores have it but I got next day delivery for free and 20% off. Best deal I've found recently.

Interesting...I can get it from my local Advance and AutoZone, but they won't apply any discounts, it specifically says it is excluded in my cart. Bummer. |

What you guys think about the Mobil 1 FS X2 5W50? To my understanding it should work perfectly for street and track use. I probably use it next time at Track and for street use. The 15W50 isn't available for me.

Only takes a single space and/or mild dyslexia to confuse "Mobil 10w40" and "Mobil1 0w40"
As others have said, 0w40 Supercar is what you want for the street and for non-1LE track use. Once the warranty is up, use whatever oil you wish. And whichever way you choose to go, I'd recommend sending samples to Blackstone-labs to confirm you're getting the result you want out of your oil, given your particular driving conditions and climate. EDIT: The official GM communication from March 2018 that your son's mechanic friend was talking about is below, reference here: https://www.corvetteactioncenter.com...le.php?id=1389 which clearly mentions Camaro (with an asterisk that excludes 1LE trims I presume to avoid confusion with the 15w50 track use requirement) in the table. Although the document title states only Corvette there was no second document published specific to Camaro ... typical GM_Things(TM). A screenshot of the same webpage was posted on our forums back in 2019: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showt...0#post10414750 . Subsequent to this 2018 update, the part numbers and names of the 0w40 have changed from "ESP Formula" to "Supercar" Last edited by Gunkk; 05-02-2024 at 09:30 AM. |

Amsoil is snake oil.
Although I used 0w40 Supercar (Dexos R) for street use, my 2023 owner's manual specifically states 5w30 is still an acceptable weight as well in the LT1. Starting on page 236 |

I was thinking of using the manuals guidance and doing exactly that, because 0w-40 with Dexos is impossible to find around here it seems. Still need to try the dealer, if they don't/won't I may resort to it
