I have a 02 ss camaro. Did all ss camaros come with synthetic oil from the factory? Bought the car used and dont know what oil i should put in it. Any ideas?

Use synthetic.

Amsoil is a site sponsor and has great products.

I use Pennzoil Platinum Plus synthetic.

Whatever you do, don't use Royal Purple!!

Use Mobil 1...best oil out there in my opinion, also have heard good things about Royal Purple but that is kind of pricey.

you can go to jiffy lube and they can tell you whats already in it

They might be able to tell you whats inside but I highly doubt they have the capability to do that...but the gentleman is asking what oil orginally came with the car off the line.

**10spokess** · 12-21-2009, 05:54 PM

i meant they can tell you what choices you can put in it lol depending on your milage i didnt mean they could analyze it

mobil 1 extended performance all the way... i havent heard shit about royal purple. people say its bad/good.. what so good/bad about it? and btw im not changing, my pops use mobil1 like its a religion. haha and im pretty much very religious. haha

just look in the owners manual and it will tell you what type of oil the motor calls for but i BELIEVE it was synthetic from the factory

**Too Fast** · 12-23-2009, 04:03 AM

I don't believe the F-bodies came with a synthetic factory fill. The LS1 Corvettes did, maybe even the LT1 'vettes did, but pretty sure never the F-body. Not sayin' someone couldn't put a 'vette oil cap on our engine, tho.

BTW, did you know the Corvette used our engine, not the other way around!

**10spokess** · 12-23-2009, 06:28 AM

so the f body had the ls1 first???

**basballny2** · 12-23-2009, 07:24 AM

nope, 97 vetts did

If this thread starts getting anywhere near a "which oil is better" pissing contest, it will be closed in a heart beat. Just a word of warning ahead of time... since I've seen how sour these can turn FAST...

According to GM's service site, OEM oil for the Fbody with the LS1 was just standard 5w30.
