That's what I use as well. Cheers!

I use AMSOIL Dominator 15W-50 Racing Oil recommend by Jannetty for street and track. I don't use it as a daily or in winter.

So just to be clear, 0w-40 Dexos 2 in a 2018 ZL1 1LE for STREET use is recommended per the revised manual? It's weird because my factory cap states 5w-30, 2018 Performance Manual states either 0w-40 or 5w-40 and 15w-50 for zl1 1le on track. Then states back to engine oil listed in "Engine Oil" in Owners Manual, doesn't specify Performance Manual so that could mean 5w-30 as well...?

Yes 0w40 "Supercar" Dexos for the street. The change to 0w40 was retroactive and all of us 2016-2017ers have the 5w30 factory cap as well.

Yet the problem is easy enough to fix: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0792NR4C6
