I've read everything that I can find on the forums regarding the debate between Mobil 1 5W-30 Dexos and the new 0W-40 ESP Dexos2 oil. It is still a little confusing. What is clear is that the 2019 model year now comes with, and recommends, the new 0W-40 Dexos2 oil, but the recommendation for the 2016-2018 ZL1 model years is still the previous 5W-30 (except for track use then 0W-40 is recommended).

Unless they changed some internals in the LT4 that I am unaware of, this really doesn't makes sense. I purchased the Mobil 1 0W/40 ESP Dexos2 to put in my 2018 ZL1 based on the forum reviews but haven't actually changed yet. Just pausing before I do...

Question: Is there any reason that we should not be running the new 0W-40 Dexos 2 oil in the 2016-2018 ZL1? Am I helping or hurting the motor at all by running the new 0W-40 Dexos2, or does it not make any difference? (note: I don't track or race my car). Is it okay to proceed, or not? Any warranty issues if I do? Would appreciate any help from those who are in the know. Thank you!
