Same here. 416 is now at 2300 miles and will continue to use Rotella until 5k or so, then going to try Castrol Edge fulll synthetic 10-40 if I can find it!

My ZO6 came with lifetime free oil changes so I guess my car will always be using Mobil One.

I use Penzoil Platinum 10w30 or Mobil 1 10w40 in my cam/bolt-ons Z06. Use them in my Formula as well...

Amsoil or German Castrol (both 0w30)

Mobile 1 is a last resort oil IMO. I don't like it at all.
