Looking for a recommendation for my LS3 Camaro, was planning on just staying with Mobile 1 like it came from the factory and probably Purolator PureOne filters
1. What kind of vehicle you have?
2010 Camaro 2SS LS3
2. What your owner's manual says -- not just viscosity, but certifications (look for acronyms like API SM, ILSAC GF-4, etc.) and change intervals as well?
Manual says oil must meet GM Standard GM4718M, 5W-30, comes from the factory with Mobile 1 Synthetic, interval is based on the Oil Life Monitor, I already changed the oil once after about 1100 miles after breaking it in pretty hard and had planned on changing it again after another 5000 and sending a sample to Blackstone labs for an analysis and then adjust based on that.
3. Where you live?
Central New Jersey
4. How you drive (easy? hard? fast? slow?)?
All of the above actually, a lot of cruising on the highway but also a lot of hard accelerations whenever I get the opportunity
5. What your daily drive is like (short trips? long trips? city? highway?)?
The majority of my mileage is on the Interstate cruising at 75 or so around 1800 rpms but also do some local around town driving (stop and go) but that is maybe 5% of the miles I put on the car, everything else is on the highway
6. Whether your car has any known problems?
Nope....
Thanks in advance for any assistance...
(edited the original post, listed 5w20 but it is actually 5w30 from the factory and what I added at the first change)
