Question What oil is everyone using?

I just brought my ZL1 to a Mobil 1 oil change station yesterday, and they had a new Mobil 1 Advanced oil that can last up to $15,000 miles, (I would never wait that long..)and has a bunch of other superior characteristics like less start up friction, and cooler engine temps, according to the advertising.
It was a bit extra, but I went for it

What is everyone else using?

Standard Mobil 1, no need for extended, but then maybe you have 50,000 miles..

Dexos1 certified, some good dealers carry Mobil 1 as an up charge.
