You didn't say your year. Personally I don't think there is much difference between Mobil 1, AMSOIL, and the rest of the top synth. oils. I just stick with what it says in the manual. It says Mobil 1 so thats what it gets. Personally I think this is another one of those what is better Ford or Chevy debates where everyone has their favorite but bottom line is they are about the same. Just my $.02. Here is the big FAQ section. All the answers there. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...questions.html

I personally have always used Wix filters as I have felt most comfortable with their design. Just recently I have switched to an Amsoil filter, as listed above, thanks to Subdriver. I have not ran the car on the road since oil change although after much research I feel like it is a top notch filter. As far as oil, I have just also switched to Amsoil. At the suggestion of ECS and A&A I felt that thier experiance speaks for themselves. If they endorse it, I am on board. Just my .02 cents.
