Default Engine oil in a supercharged 2013 Z06

I have a question for you guys. I have a supercharged 2013 Z06 and the it is time for a oil change. The shop that did the install put 15W50 Mobil 1 oil in it. I was wondering if I should continue to use this or a different weight..

Lots of folks run the heavier oil. Personally, I wouldn't. The General built your motor with clearances designed for a specific weight oil. Adding a supercharger doesn't change those clearances.
