Really, what spec oil?
Really, what spec oil? Dexos 1 or 2, sn, sn+, 4718m. I want to use a good quality full synthetic oil but which one? My car is a 2010 stock Ls3, last oil change was Castrol synth 5/30 magnatec. If an earlier spec oil is a better oil I’ll look for that, dunno if dexos is good for my application 95,000mi. So I’m looking for good oil for my motor....

What spec does your owner's manual call out? ANY oil that meets that specification. I personally use Pennzoil Platinum, but if it's out of stock at WallyWorld when I go to purchase I simply buy another highly rated full synthetic oil like Castrol Edge, Mobil 1 Extended Performance, Castrol Magnetec.

Look at your Owners Manual .... It will tell you to use a full synthetic SAE 5W-30 engine oil that meets the Dexos spec (such as Mobil 1)
Again .... Look in your Owners Manual

new 2 me ..... Exactly ... The Chevrolet engine in these cars is nothing special or out of the ordinary , and does not require some 'Special' engine oil made from 'Unobtainium' or 'Dragons Blood'.
