Default F-body factory fill oil?

Just curious what oil the F- body LS1 cars came with from the factory? I know the Vettes come with Mobil 1 from the factory, but I heard a rumor that GM started using Mobil 1 as factory fill in f bodies starting in 2001. Is this true?

Some cars came with Mobil 1, like our Firehawk did. I believe some, or maybe all of the SS's and Firehawk's came with Mobil 1. No clue what my WS6 came with. There was nothing indicating it was Mobil 1.

I remember someone saying that cars built after October 2001 were filled with Mobil 1. I changed my oil anyway after 500 miles with Mobil 1
