i run 10w-30 in the summer and 5w-30 in the winter to make sure the motor gets lube right away with the cold weather. i think lighter oils can mean more hp if i'm not mistaken. i know the stuff those F1 guys use is pretty much like water... i just dont know how well it lubes compared to thicker stuff.

I completely agree with you on everything!
But I always thought FI guys run thicker... like 15w-50 or something
(viper runs that) I too would run thicker oil on FI, so that it would give
me more oil pressure and protect my precious little bearings!!!
I havent spent much time on researching FI though, so I could definately be wrong

no no no. F1, as in Formula 1... v-8's revving to 25,000 rpm. not FI, as in forced induction.

GM Service Information recommends what ever it says in your owners manual. but if you dig deep enough, it does say i think for a 01 or 02, which ever i looked up...lol, that it takes 5w30 unless temps stay over 0*F then you can use 10w30.
They were probably going to put in 5w30 cause they most likely use 5w30 as their bulk oil.
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
