do lwat makes you feel good, either put the REGULAR oil in that is recommended or go with Mobil1 or any of the good synthetics. I have a 2LT and I also have a addy STS that has the same engine, Caddy recommends the Mobil1 for our engine, so that is what I am putting it it.

You'll get a bunch of different answers from different people, but bottom line is synthetic oil is proven to protect an engine better in the long run. The SS comes stock with Mobile 1 but other cars I've owned that came with standard oil, I switched after 5-7K miles. Mobile 1 is great... if you don't mind spending more, Royal Purple and Amsoil are both good too.
