Default Oil/Lube and Additives ?

What brand/weight of oil and additives are you running in your ZO6? How often do you change the oil? Have you ever replaced the lube in the tranny/rear end? What did you replace it with? Kind of a general information questions. I'd just like to see what everyone else is doing regularly.

Whats in the owners manual is fine

No need for special additives for oil, gas etc.

Mobil 1 5W30 synthetic for oil.

Techron in the gas tank at least once a year to clean out carbon deposits, and always use Top Tier gas stations when you fill up: http://www.toptiergas.com/licensedbrands/

If you ever decide to change the transmission fluid, many members on here really like the Royal Purple Syncromax which they say provides for an easier shifting/nicer feeling transmission.

Mobil 5-30 synthetic in the motor, once a year in the spring before I drive it the first time (I drive it up on ramps when I park it at the end of every year). Additives, no
Only 94 octane Chevron gas
Replaced both the tranny and rear with Amsoil stuff
