What kind of oil would you guys recommend? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Any 5w30 oil that meets Dexos-1 specs (if you run stock/nearly stock motor).
Full synthetic basically means longer oil change interval, but if you do oil change every 3K miles, u may use blended oil as well.

Redline 5W-30/40. Good enough for anything these engines are going to throw at it. Maybe go to a 10W-40 for road course.

I use Mobile 1 0W-40.

Recommended GM diff. fluid.
Mobil1 trans. fluid.
Havoline anti-freeze.
Dimple magnitic plugs in engine, trans. and diff..

Stock photo, disregard 5-20wt. Use 5-30wt.

This has been my choice for the last year and I love it....
