But I respectfully disagree with your statement that GM has not changed the recommended oil. My 2018 manual clearly says that 5W-30 dexos1 is the recommended oil. Also, the oil fill cap says the same thing. Then there is a caveat in the manual for track use, where they recommend the 0W-40 or 5W-40 dexos2. The 2020 manual clearly states that 0W-40 dexos2 is the recommended oil. Period. The manual does add a caveat saying "If 0W-40 dexos2 oil is not available, SAE 5W-30 dexos1 full synthetic engine oil may be used for street use." So 5W-30 dexos1 is an official alternative, but not the recommended oil.

Anyone picking up a new oil cap, check the inside for excessive plastic flashing. Probably wouldn't ever cause an issue, but I cleaned mine up.

FYI - was doing some perusing of the Mobil 1 product page and looks like a couple of new things have come out since the last post on this thread: -There looks to now be a Dexos 1, Gen 3 -In addition to 0W-40, looks like Mobil 1 now has a Dexos 2 version of 5W-30 (though not sure which of the "sub-brands" that this falls under (aka "Extended Mileage", "Supercar", etc, etc) Link: https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/...et%20Corvettes. |

I had been running the Valvoline MST 5W40 up until it was discontinued. Searched for a replacement Dexos 5w40 and could only find Amalie, nothing else was available. Havoline was supposedly making a 5w40 Dexos, but could never find it.
Now the Amalie is no longer around, ended up getting two 5qt jugs of Mobil 1 5w40 European formula... not Dexos certified. Don't want to run a 0w oil in my car, nor do I want to run a 5w30 in the summer. Car doesn't burn any oil so I doubt it will kill the cats any time soon.
