I ordered from Walmart. Bought 3 5 Qt jugs to save a little and get free shipping.

"Which oil" can be debated endlessly. You won't go wrong following what is listed in the owner's manual for your engine and model of Camaro, whatever that is.

I have a 2016 2SS and have not taken it to a track, and am not sure if I will. I am using Castrol EDGE 5W-30 Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil and the OEM filter.

Excellent! I use Valvoline myself, but both oils are remarkably similar in their chemical composition.
Enjoy your car! Cheers!

Correct. If you go to the walmart link I posted and mouse over the image, you will get a much larger image that makes the Dexos logo easily legible. The 1 is still in the green square.

By contrast, Dexos 2 has a 2 in the box and the box is blue not green, like here: https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-88865.../dp/B008BZS7CE

For those interested in Mobil 1 0W-40 ESP the best deal can be had here: https://www.speedwaymotors.com/

I bought two 6-quart boxes for $49.99 each with free shipping. Also just got my rebate check from Mobil which was $12 per 5 quarts. So, I got 12 quarts for $76 (plus some taxes).
