Oil system
IS the new camaro going to use a dry-sump system like on the Z06 and ZR1 or the the traditional wet-sump setup?

But on a side note it is equipped with a oil cooler, which I think is a first for a Camaro. Nice to see Gm protecting our new drivetrain.

yeah, guess I'll be doing this car myself. It'll be more than 80. Its 80 and change to get an oil change in my Cobalt SS. 6.5 qts of Mobil 1 and filter. So, guess its time to get a floor jack, stands and a drain pan.
