CAMARO6 - View Single Post - ZL1 oil 0w/40 ESP Mobil 1 no longer available-? possibly for Oil Pump Fail

You know, I fell into the hype of everyone when the 0w40 esp first came out. But after my oil pump replacement... Seriously thinking of going "back" to Royal purple 5w30 when I hit my next oil change at 23k. I ran royal purple 5w30 in my 5 gen SS 1LE and loved it. Never had a bad experience with RP...

When I say "back", I don't mean I have ever put RP in my ZL1. I have not. I have been using Mobil 1 since I got it. The dealer did the 600 mile oil change (was a nightmare with oil leaking from a too loose filter), I put 5w30 mobil 1 in at my 2nd oil change at 2000. Then, went to the 0w40 mobil 1 after that.
