Default New LS1 owner

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and have recently just bought a 1998 Z28 Camaro. I have a noob question to start off with. An oil change is due in about a couple hundred miles or so and I have decided just to do one now, but I am curious to as of what kind of oil I should use and what would be the best choice of filter?

I hear Amsoil and mobil 1 are popular choices, but I am curious to see everyones opinion.

Thanks, Shawn.
