I use Mobil 1 5W-30 for my 2016 Z51 Stingray Corvette.

Thank you Jerry for that information...….I have a bunch of "daily drivers" also but the LT5s are by far my favorites (when it gets cold I move rather than move the vehicles)

I use Mobil 1 High Mileage 10 W 30 and do oil testing with Blackstone labs, so far my numbers are excellent even when I went 8000 between changes. For what is worth my zinc levels were 870ppm. I am not seeing any noticeable wear or problems based on the results. I use about a quart in 4000 miles if I go that long between changes. Seems to like the Mobil 1 is OK.

It is good to see someone’s keeping the Amway Brothers happy; their Yacht takes a lot of fuel.

I'm not sure what oil you use, but Id be willing to bet you're supporting an off shore company with whatever choice you have made. At the very least, your money is going to a multi billion dollar oil company.... Doesn't make me feel too bad supporting the Amway Brothers... I have no issue with their yacht either.... Im not a "hate the rich" kinda guy...know what I mean?

Amsoil has nothing to do with Amway, other than being accused of being a pyramid scheme...
