I know that many of you use and recommend Mobile 1 for your cars. I have been told that for some time the Corvette has come with Mobile 1 from the factory and even has a 'Use Mobile 1' oil filler cap. Since the LS1 engine in the 2002 SS is supposed to be the same engine as in the Corvette, my question is this: does the 2002 SS come with Mobile 1 from the factory? I can't find anything on the engine or in the Owner's Manual that says what kind of oil it comes with or what brand to use. It just says to use 5-30w unless you are in a really cold area and then it is OK to use 0-30w.
I also understand that there are advantages to both synthetic and 'dino' oils. I had used a blended oil in my '95 Impala SS for several years and seemed to have good results. It also made the engine quieter at idle than the one time I tried an all-synthetic oil.
I don't want to start an 'oil war' here, just mainly wondering what kind of oil my new car has in it now.
Thanks,

The 2002's have supposedly been getting Mobil 1 since October.

I'm not sure if my SS came with "dino" oil from the factory or synthetic. I changed over to Mobil 1 at 1000 miles and will stick with it. The dealer gave me a Mobil 1 oil cap with the car.
Good luck, Andy

I think HWTLSS gave you the answer you are looking for. I use Mobil One. Changed to Mobil one at 3000 miles.
Many use others. I am sure they are all good. I have always felt it doesn't really matter that much with how often most of us change our oil!

OK and from the other side of the isle...I like castrol products and so use Syntech (it also came with the car).
