Recommended Engine Oil 2015 Camaro V6

I've heard a lot of people talk about the brand of oil they use, but no specifics. If there's anybody who could give me the brand name and the specifications of the oil, such as OW-50 or OW-30 etc, that would be greatly appreciated.

FYI I'm planning on using exclusively synthetic oil in the vehicle, since I've had very good success with that in all my other cars.

I use Mobil1 oil 5w30. Should be someplace there on Ross Clark Circle that sells it. I just bought mine at Walmart for $22.88 per 5 qt jug with a $12 rebate per jug. $10.88 for 5 qts is a good deal. The rebate goes off on the 31st.

Mobil 1 ESP Oil

Hello All,

this is my first post, so forgive me if it seems trivial. I am just about to change the motor oil in my 2012 Camaro 3.6L V6 cabriolet, i wanted to use Mobil 1, like a lot of people suggest, however, here in Europe we can only seem to buy Mobil 1 ESP - Emmission System Protection version in 5W-30.
My question is, has anyone tried this oil ? if so, thoughts please.

This seems to be the one to go for Shell Helix Ultra ECT C3 5W-30.
