Special Oil for LT1???
Ok get this, go to the dealer for my complimentary oil change and tire rotation(first oil change),called day before they said come next day 8:30AM, I'm like awesome see ya than. I get there and 15 minutes later the Tech and sales guy that sold me the LT1 approach me and tell me they can't do the service because my Camaro takes a "Special Oil". I'm like what. I should of asked what kind of special or mystery oil are we talking about here but I was so pissed I just said are keys in the car and the tech said yes and I just drove out of the bay and left. Here's what I think happened, they only had Full synthetic and didn't want to give that and instead put probably synthetic blend in Camaro and it wouldn't cost them as much which would have been ok with me. What's your opinion.

I'm sure lots do because they aren't aware GM changed the recommendation. My dealer not only sent me an email but actually sent me a new oil filler cap with Mobil1 0w-40 to replace the original one.

Honestly, I would not go back even for warranty issues. Google chevy service departments within a 50 mile radius of your area and choose the one with the highest amounts of 5 star reviews. You want the most competent service department doing your warranty work, even if they are a few minutes further away.

You can get 5w-30 dexos2 for less than $20 for 5 quarts where I live. Think I was wrong 5w-30 is dexos1. 5w plenty thin for middle Ga.
