(L99 & LS3)

V6 : SAE 5w-30 GM6094M
Do Not use 10w-40, 20w-50 or any other viscosity grade oil not recommended

V8 : SAE 5w-30 / GM4718M (L99 & LS3) Mobil 1 is Factory fill ..
Do Not use 10w-40,20w-50 or any other viscosity grade oil not recommended

I changed my oil twice already with Dino , on my next oil change at 2500-3000 mi. I'm switching over to Mobil 1 from there on...

10w-30 is not mention in the Owners Manual , I would check with your Dealerships Service Dept. to see what they have to say about that.. But I would go by your Owners Manual recommendations..
