      What’s the best engine oil to use in the Camaro ZL1? Royal Purple?

      Amatuzio makes a good product. Used it when I lived a few blocks from Aj years ago. Not easy to find out here so I stick with MOBIL 1.

      “You can Buy Wholesale online”

      I can buy MOBIL 1 when I stop at the store

      Cadillac recommends Mobil 1 full syntetic for the CTS and that’s what I would use with any other high performance car.

      Cadillac and GM only recommend what makes them money. They want a monopoly on what you buy for your vehicles and their owners manuals and propaganda are designed to affect that end. Once I buy the vehicle its mine to do with as I please.

      I own a 2009 CTS4 (AWD) (had a 2005 also) since new and I changed out the Mobil 1 out at 2000 miles and went with the AMSOIL 100% synthetic 0W-30. I did the same thing with my winter vehicle, ’12 Sierra Denali. I take my AMSOIL into my dealer and he gladly changes it for me, no questions asked because he knows darn well he would lose me as a new vehicle customer the moment he pushed some GM oil on me.

      PS-Used AMSOIL since 1975.

      @Z15 Good stuff. Is there a reason you prefer AMSOIL over other brands?

      37 yrs of using it. Many think AMSOIL was born yesterday but they were the very first to come out with a synthetic oil for automotive use, way back in 1972. Mobil 1 did not come out till a few years (circa 1975) later and the others only jumped on the band wagon within the last 5-15 yrs because they see a chance to get a piece of the action while before that they did everything to debunk synthetic oils. I started to use AMSOIL around circa 1976 and soon realized it was a better oil. Since then thats all I use in everything I own.

      Everyone hates big oil but IMO for the wrong reasons. The make millions selling the consumers cheap oil and promoting 3,000 mile oil changes.
