I've used stock GM stuff, but many go with a synthetic fluid (Redline, Royal Purple, etc).

Any major brand that you trust
Shell #1 world lubricants (also own Quaker State & Pennzoil)
Exxon Mobil #2
You can pay a lot more for exotics Royal Purple, Redline, Amsoil) that meet the same specs
Your choice....
