Default Oil/Filter

Did a search, and couldn't really find an answer.

What is the factory weight recommendation for oil?

What is the general concensus on oil weight recommendation from you guys?

What is the best oil filter for our cars?

How many quarts is a oil change with filter?

What is the best tranmission fluid for M6?

What is the best rear end fluid?

Sorry so many questions... I just picked up my Z28, and it doesn't have an owners manual.

Thanks!!

Default Re: Oil/Filter

Factory recommends 5w30 for fuel economy reasons. If you want your engine to last longer though, use 10w30 for sure.

As far as oil filters go, the Mobil 1 M1-206 is what I would recommend, this is the longer than stock filter. With that filter your capacity is about 6 quarts.
