He's messing with you 
'
But seriously, any auto place (even Wal-Mart) has the books and displays that shows what oils and filters you need.
And, like said above, you really need to read your owner's manual, not just for this, but to get familiar to all of the features of your car.
You also don't say if it is a dry sump or wet sump. I'm not gonna tell you how to tell, you have to read your owner's manual.
On a serious note, you do need to know, because it takes a different filter, and a LOT more oil for the engine on a dry sump grand sport LS3

This information is in your owners manual, you could Google it, you could look at the filter chart in any auto parts store, Wal-Mart, it's available every where.
You say you've been researching and cannot find this information?
If that's actually true, then I think you'd be better served by having a professional change your oil. Don't trust yourself.

Amsoil has you covered. I use the 0w-30 Signature Series oil in my 2013 Grand Sport w/the dry sump LS3. I recommend it.

I don't know where the OP was looking but Mobil 1 5w-30 is right on the oil filler cap. If you weren't able to find that when you were looking where the oil should go, maybe you shouldn't be changing your own oil.

This cannot be a serious post! It's a joke right?

X2. This is not a job he should be doing if he can't figure out the 2 most basic maintenance requirements.

It contains everything you'll need to know.
If your transmission is an automatic, it's about 5 qts. I'm not certain because I don't have an automatic.
If you own a manual 6 speed transmission, you have a dry sump oil system that takes 10.5 qts., and the oil filter is different as well.
In either one, GM recommends Mobil 1 oil. That manual is your friend.

Now we are getting somewhere, you have a dry sump.I get my oil at Wal-Mart, it is 5-30 Mobil 1, and it is about $25 for a 5 quart container. So, it's about $60 worth of oil. The dry sump uses a higher pressure rated filter, and I order mine thru Amazon, and get the Mobil M-113 filter. There are 2 drain plugs for the dry sump, and you really do need the PDF manual, read about how to change you oil, because there is a process on how to even check the oil. Go to this site, and download it. http://www.chevrolet.com/content/dam...13corvette.pdf

The dry sump uses a UPF-48R filter.

You got that right. Still can't be certain he has a dry sump system though.He said they guy in Auto Zone told him he needed 10.5 qts.
Maybe the guy at Auto Zone checked it out and he's correct, or maybe he assumed because it was a GS, it was dry sump?
I've seen others say the same thing when the car was in fact an automatic.
I've learned not to assume anything.
What say OP, you got a stick, or an auto?
