What brand oil will be factory fill for the SS LT1?
I know the LT1 in the Corvette Stingray comes with Mobil 1, will the 2016 SS come with it also. I know GM is moving a lot their vehicles to their on Dexos synthetic blend oil, which is over priced and hopefully not being used for the SS.

I thought GM was in love with Mobil 1.. That's even what came in the 05 GTO I owned. My brother's SRX as well I believe.
I'm going to say it'll come with Mobil 1. |

Demos is not really over priced for a semi synthetic. When it the Dexos standard (not a brand) came out several Mobil 1 products didn't meet it. And a Dexos oil change at my Chevy dealer pretty reasonable.

Unless you have a coupon or a GM special, Dexos is a rip off! One time the dealer changed the oil in my Cruze by accident when I didn't ask for an oil change, they tried charging my $65! I of course refused to pay and they apologized, so I got a free oil change. Other than that, I will not pay full price. I usually get the $39.95 Dexos oil change & tire rotation, about $50 with tax and disposal. They of course force you to get Dexos otherwise it could void warranty, which not sure if that would hold up...but I really want a full synthetic oil in my SS, right from the factory.

Factory fill will either be acdelco dexos approved or Mobil 1.
If you don't like either, just make sure you bring in an oil that's meets the specifications. I'd bring in Amsoil and make them use it, haha. Last edited by Davy_Baby9; 09-03-2015 at 10:23 PM. |

Me too, since the LT1 in the Stingray comes filled with it.

Once more time, Dexos is NOT a specific brand of oil, it is simply an oil specification GM has created. MANY different oils meet Dexos specs, not just Mobil 1.
Information on Dexos can be found here. http://www.gmdexos.com |

I thought every LT1 and LT4 engine gets Mobil 1 factory fill, it was like that for the '14 and '15 models.
