Can someone check their owners manual for me?

Guys my dog ate my owners manual. Seriously.

Can someone check to see if theres a recommendation for oil for performance driving/track use. Specifically for the LTG. I am aware of the requirements for the LT1. I need to know if there's a recommendation for the LTG.

Thanks in advance!

I specifically recall my owner's manual said :

Hopefully GM will clear this miss-information up soon

we use mobil 1 ESP on our performance LTG's/LNF's. it is a low ash oil, which helps prevent carbon deposits, and in turn, prevents pre-ignition (part of what was killing the early LTG engines)

Thanks guys! Nice that I've got the owners manual on my phone now.

I was specifically wanting to see what xW40 oils can be used.

Owners manual recommend 5w40 Valvoline synpower MST or Mobil1 15w50.

Currently I'm using Rotella T6 0w40 and will send in a sample for UOA once I do an oil change.

Zzsteve you may wanna see if mobil1 changed their additive pack if and when they switched from CJ4 to CK4 certification. I likely won't be using RT6 with the new CK4 formulation.

I had a UOA done on the AC Delco full syn 5w30 and my engine is looking just fine at 45000 km.
