Since it has come out I have used Penzoil Platinum 10w30 in all of my LS-based vehicles. 2006 GTO, 2009 and 2011 Silverado.

Should you have to run different weight oil in a non DOD vs. DOD engine?

I believe the DOD lifters are pickier about running the factory spec 5w30 than the non DOD however I could be wrong.
