In the Z? Any synthetic.

I owned a fleet for courier & delivery. They got whatever was on sale.

When oil gets changed every 3 weeks (5k), it doesn't matter too much...

Seriously I use 10w30 with two qts of 10w40.

GM also recommended 5W-30 and my 90 would burn a quart of that every 600 miles. Switching to 10W-40 reduced consumption to about one quart every 1,200 miles and also quieted down the CTT rattle considerably.
