Same as Bently and lietome, probably just due to the fact I had 14 quarts of the stuff sitting around in my garage left over from my Z06, which took 7 qts each change.

Shell Rotella full syn, 5W-40. Use it in everything I own. 15 bux a gal at Walley World. No friction modifiers to mess with your clutch like Mobil 1.....TB

Nope, sold it. I had the bad clutch issue, where it was replaced twice under the service bulletin, both new units had out of whack flywheels, had to have both of them rebalanced. That and a few other items, and I decided to dump it before they got worse. I really want the C6 version, but they are few and far between, and still very expensive. That or the new camaro, depending on how close they stick to the concept.
