Pennzoil Platinum. Been using it for years in all my vehicles. That and a good Wix filter.

For warranty cars Mobil 1, Pennzoil Ultra, or Pennzoil Platinum. 5W-30. I have the Chevy dealer change my oil for $50.00. They use GM recommended oil for the 2SS L99 engine.

Wish I knew a dealer I could trust, that's cheaper than what it cost for me to do it myself!

I never thought about trusting the dealer to preform a easy oil change. I realize the change is a loss for them but if my memory is right for extra money they wash my car after the change. In the meantime I get to chat with the sales people, look at the new Camaros, watch their TV, and suck up their crummy coffee. Why not call the service department of your closest dealer and ask the cost of the change? I only had one problem but it was with Firestone. My son Little Ricky took his Camaro for a change. After he drove off three blocks later the engine ceased. We towed it back. Next day manager calls Little Ricky. Mr. Ricky we owe you a new engine. They drained the oil but did not think to replace it. What Ricky got for his trouble was a new engine with a two year warranty. Since the warranty had expired on the Camaro anyway he got himself a warranty renew.


Last week I took my GN to the same Firestone for an oil change. 70 bucks for Mobile 1 synthetic but unfortunate for me I did not get a new engine.
