My 02 is also supercharged and I always use the factory-fill Mobil-1 in 5W-30. Never had a problem and Mobil-1 is easy to get. Costco, Wal-Mart, Amazon has occasional sales of 5-qt jugs or 6-pack boxes. Just get a good quality oil filter!!

I've gone to Mobile 1 10/30 for the hot summer temp's in Southern Arizona. And 5/30 for the rest of the year. I've used AC Delco oil filters for more years than I can remember. Never had any issues and I've been using synthetic oil since the late eighty's in all my vechiels. A cheap investment for your pride and joy.

The rod bearing loading will be higher on a supercharged, nitrous or even a higher compression n/a engine vs. a factory stock LS1/6 engine. So you should step up to a oil with a greater shear rate viscosity number (higher film strength value). That is why I would suggest a top quality synthetic 0w-40 or 5w-40 weight oil from either; Mobil 1, Redline or Amsoil. Its cheap insurance for that expensive supercharger kit you had installed on engine.
