per the above post- just order it online. That’s what most of us do. It’s too hard to find locally. Speedway has a package deal where the oil filter is essentially free.
For clarification, according to GM SB 18-NA-129, 0W40 is approved for both street and track use on the '14-19 MY C7s with LT1, LT4 and LT5 engines. The only model that requires 15W-50 for track use is the ZR1:

One would think that, but we have a forum member that has been denied warranty coverage for an on-track blown engine because the 0W-40 Dexos2 was used instead of 15W-50. He owns a prior to 2019 model vehicle. You may want to review that thread as well as receive information in writing from GM that they will not deny warranty coverage for on-track issues for pre-2019 vehicles if the 0W-40 dexos2 oil is used. Otherwise, based on the story I've seen, I'd suggest using the 15W-50 for pre-2019 vehicles.
Here's the Mobil1 0w-40 you are looking for. 5w-30 is also ok, for pre 2019 models:
to everyone thank you for all the replies....O Riley says they can't even order it walmart does not carry it they both only have European so can someome tell me where I can buy it?

Thanks. Do you by happen to have a copy of the actual TSB from GM? Or anything in writing on GM letterhead? I would love to run 0W40 in my 2017 GS but am worried about an engine issue on track and GM denying my warranty claim due to the oiI I was using. I dont think a CF sticky from Tadge is enough.

TBS #18-NA-129 is included in my post# 4 above, page2.

That's kind of a tricky document. They strongly imply that 2014-2019 non-ZR1 C7s may use the 0W-40 Dexos2 on track, as use of the 15W-50 is not listed as a requirement as it is for the ZR1. However, it isn't stated plainly anywhere that I saw. If I'm on the jury, GM loses if they deny warranty coverage to a non-ZR1 C7 owner for using the 0W-40 Dexos2, that otherwise had an on-track failure covered by warranty. I hope that's how it works out.
Oil type....
