New oil from Mobil 1 made for the LT1 and LT4 - Page 3

VelvetHammer · 03-14-2018, 03:08 PM

Got my cap from local Chevy parts dept., but any GM dealer can accommodate the request. Next-day delivery from local GM warehouse for $8.60.

Dexos has an "Approved List". Any oil in this list is certified and safe to use.

Here is a link to a complete table with all oils some "crazy motor oil guy" from Poland tested and his findings: Not necessarily Dexos, but gives a nice overview.

He also has a Youtube channel - watch his test videos if you like.

I am coming up on an oil change soon and for warranty protection, should I probably keep using 5W30 until GM makes it official with the Camaro to switch it over to this 0W40?

Assume you got this from GM. Do you have a part number?

Normally I wouldn't care, but the ability to track the car without the need to switch oil every time is a huge plus. I'll be going to this oil at the next oil change.

Anyone have any luck getting their hands on this oil from their dealer yet?

Checked two dealers around me and both show it as “New part - not yet available” with no ETA.

I checked with my dealership and they didn't have a clue.

Is there a GM part number for this?

This is great news!

I am interested to know what the recommendation will be in the Camaro owners manual for ZL1 1LEs....because although all track-time Camaros called for 0 or 5-40 for the track...the ZL1 1LE specifically required 15W50...hmm

I wonder if the higher cornering forces of the ZL1 1LE are a factor. ??
