Mobil 1 is the factory fill oil and GM recommended! There are guys that swear by Redline, Amsoil and Royal Purple but you cant go wrong with Mobil 1. If you change the oil when the oil life monitor in the DIC tells you to, you will fine that The mobil 1 will last between 6000-9000 between oil changes depending on the time of the season and the way that you drive.

Yes, most C5 guys run Mobil 1 as Bill mentioned above. But, the C5 requires an oil meeting GM Standard 4178M and there are several synthetics on the market which meet this standard including these two from AMSOIL:
AMSOIL Series 2000 0w30
AMSOIL SAE Synthetic 5w30
