Type of oil? Help
I have an 02ws6 and I've always put a mobil 1 full synthetic and have never had problems. Whatever brand you go with is your choice. But as I'm sure 99% of f-body owners such as us would say stick with full SYNTHETIC

Check that out.
Personally I run it and its been great. Its been in for about 4 months and 3k miles and its still clear on the dipstick. Ill go to a 5k oil change interval and do a UOA and then go from there.

And Walmart oil is GARBAGE. I used it in my motor to flush out any debris from when I dropped the oil pan and pulled the valley cover. Ran it for about 2 days and then drained it and filled it with Mobil 1 EP. Supertech oil even smells like complete crap, its the cheapest oil you can possibly buy for a reason. I noticed my car definitely ran worse with with the Supertech oil, the valvetrain was noisier and the motor just seemed to not perform as well.
Bottom line is all oils are not created equal. You'd be an idiot to buy a high performance engine and then put garbage oil in it. Thats completely counterproductive. For the relatively small price difference per oil change, use full synthetic oil and a quality (not Fram or Walmart) oil filter. I'd highly reccommend Mobil 1, German Castrol Syntec, Valvoline Synpower, and Penzoil Platinum. All will protect your motor at all temperatures, keep it clean inside, and significantly reduce the amount of wear and friction between rotating surfaces.
Probably.
But if it wasn't good oil, it wouldn't be worth any endorsement deal for GM to use it in their vehicles if it was an inferior product and caused premature wear and failure of engines.
No endorsement deal is worth $15,000 in warranty work per car for a new motor.
If it wasn't good oil they wouldn't be putting it in their brand new high performance cars, period.
