Default New to this section/ Oil ????
Hey Guys,
I just purchased my first C5, a 2001, ZO6 All I can say is WOW !!!
The question I have on oil, I know to use "Mobil1" but what weight and grade do I use. ( I don't have the service records on this car )
I live in the south and it does not get very cold here even in the Winter months and I need to know what I should use for the best life of my LS6 engine.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide!
Jeff

Factory recommendation is 6.5 qts. of 5W30 Mobil 1, 10W30 Mobil 1 is an acceptable alternative.
