oil
I have never had a ls1 with as low miles as I do now... whatg oil should I use, I used mobil 1 full synthetic 10w 30 but that was a 113k camaro, what should I use in my 99frc ls1 with 13k on it?
My best guess is a 5 w 30 full syn, but I have heard of german versions of mobil one and all other kind of crazyness.

Oil
Dude, Its on the filler cap! Its in the manual! Lots of people here probly have it tatted on their arms. Go spend the $40-50 and do it. Unless you plan to use it as a daily driver, You wont see the 3000 miles, where most here change their oil, in a year. Thats going to be one less thing you will have to worry about, so you can consentrate on having fun with your new toy.
