I found a good deal on Amalie 5w40 dexos2, just waiting for it to ship as they claim the wuhan is slowing down operations.

Havoline Pro DS has a 5/40 that is Dexos 2 available at Napa on sale this month I used to run the Castrol called German Castrol in my LS1's back in the day, it was the only one made there. Can't remember the viscosity.

Basically, until warranty is over, you have a good choice of Dexos2 5W40 brands available. If you want to choose a conglomerate, then BP and Exxon are both relatively "safe" choices.
If you really dive into details and look for the "specialty" and "consistency", then choose the smaller sized companies, I.E. Motul , Amalie (Like this part# http://www.amalie.com/Passenger-Car-...ic/5W40-DEXOS2)
