There are about a thousand of these threads. There are those that support Royal Purple, those that like Amsoil. There isn't a good reason to switch from Mobile One, but any oil that meets GM Spec GM4718M will be fine.
Your vehicle’s engine requires a special oil meeting
GM Standard GM4718M. Oils meeting this
standard may be identified as synthetic. However,
not all synthetic oils will meet this GM standard.

If your car is a street driven vette only, then original fill Mobil 1, 5/30 is what you should use.
