Their fluids will not void a warranty as long as you are using the fluid that meets the GM standard. GM's standards for their oils can be found in your owners manual section 10-7 and 10-8. Here is a link to Amsoils product application lookup for a 2010 SS. http://www.amsoil.com/mygarage/vehic...ROLET+CAMARO+X
All of their products will have a link to give you more information about it and what world wide specs it meets. Here is a link to my website http://www.lubedealer.com/simplysynthetics

Your manual has the specs in it, it is a GM 88861800. If I can help you any further let me know, and also the Amsoil customer service line is great for answering questions about technical issues. It is not a 800 number but they are great for questions on products [Technical Services Phone: (715) 399-TECH (8324)] My website is in my sig.

Thanks for the info. I guess the ATF fluid is the best bet then. I will let you know when I'm ready to order. I did notice that the gallon isn't quite enough and they don't sell it in quarts. Hmmmm.

Here is what the manual says to use

Rear Axle (V6 Engine with
Automatic Transmission)
Rear Differential Fluid 75W-90 to GM Specification 9986155.
GM Part No. U.S. 89021677, in Canada 89021678.
Rear Axle (V6 Engine with
Manual Transmission)
Rear Differential Fluid 75W-90 Limited Slip to GM Specification 9986226.
GM Part No. U.S. 89021677 and Friction Modifier 1052358,
in Canada 89021678 and Friction Modifier 992694.
Rear Axle (V8 Engine)
Rear Differential Fluid 75W-90 Limited Slip to GM Specification 9986226.
GM Part No. U.S. 89021677 and Friction Modifier 1052358,
in Canada 89021678 and Friction Modifier 992694

Here is what Amsoil offers for that

and the friction modifier additive

These meet the GM specs.

In independent studies Amsoil outperforms Mobile 1, I have been using it for over two years in all five of my vehicles and love it. Here is the results from their 10W-30. The 5W-30 and 0W-30 oils are even better.

http://www.amsoil.com/performancetests.aspx
Their motor oils need to be used in conjunction with their EA filters to get the full life, if they do not offer a filter they recommend a wix and then service the filter in conjuction to the oil life monitor or 3000 miles.

Yea that is a downfall I know and I wish they would sell it in qts. But look at the bright side you will always have some leftover in case of a spill...lol.

Yes let me know if you would like to order and I can help you out. If you order from my site be sure to check into becoming a preferred customer a one year membership is only $20 and you get the product at wholesale. A 6 month is $10 but you can only do that one time then have to get the year the next time. Price it with and without, and depending on how much you order it will save you more than the membership cost plus.

25,000 miles or 1 year under normal conditions, if the vehicle is used in severe conditions it is 15,000 miles or 1 year whichever comes first and yes the recommended filter for the LS3 is a Amsoil EA050

The following is from Amsoil regarding service life of the 5W-30 oil.

SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) gasoline fueled vehicles as follows:

• Normal Service(3) – Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.

• Severe Service(4) – Up to 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.

• Replace AMSOIL Ea oil filter at the time of oil change up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first (other brands at standard OEM* intervals).

• In all non-gasoline fueled vehicle applications, extend the oil change interval according to oil analysis or follow the OEM* drain interval.

*OEM – Original Equipment Manufacturer

(1) Engines operating under modified conditions(non-stock) are excluded from extended drain recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation by the manufacturer.

(2) Mechanically sound engines are in good working condition and do not, for example, leak oil or consume excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not leak anti-freeze and have properly working emission control systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.

(3) Personal vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles (16 km) at a time and not operating under severe service.

(4) Turbo/supercharged vehicles, commercial or fleet vehicles, extensive engine idling, use of AMSOIL motor oil in vehicles with more than 100,000 miles without prior use of AMSOIL motor oil, daily short trip driving less than 10 miles (16 km), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition driving.

You have a link to an Amsoil sight to show how Amsoil is better...not a lot od credibility there IMO. I mean common, of course they are going to say they are better it is their own website!

[Blownhotrodder]

Here you go, I am a dealer of Amsoil but do not try to push it on anybody. I feel that everyone needs to do their research and use what they feel is the best. IMO it is the best oil on the market. I was a customer long before I decided to become a dealer. If you have any more questions feel free to pm me or my website is in my sig and it will link you to my email there.

Wish they would have compared it to RP. But the numbers look good, you just have to realize that there is a potential bias there because its on the Amsoil site so some ppl (like me) might be a little weary to just take it at face value

I will try and see what I can find on comparison with RP. The testing is done through independent labs, not Amsoil testing.

Yeah, I totally understand that and I'm not saying the numbers aren't legit. But I have seen a study where RP was on top of all the other brands too. Thats kind of why I take everything with a grain of salt. If there are 20 lab results and one of them has a "Brand X" on top of course that brand is going to use that study on there site. IM NOT SAYING AMSOIL ISNT THE BEST OIL OUT THERE. I'm just saying I take everything with a grain of salt, not just with Amsoil, but with ALL brands in all products. Everything from Oil to Bolt ons
