Most important thing here is the use of the proper engine oil. Dexos Gen 2, 0w/20 full synthetic oil, and top tier fuel, 87 octane is ok.

You could probably go thicker on the oil, too. But clean oil is the key.

Thicker oil is not the way to go with the tight CNC based internal clearances, these engines have been tested/run for the equivalent of 150k miles then torn down for inspection using the GM recommended oil.
