Just a question that maybe this is the wrong place to ask but here goes anyway. Would it be advisable to use this oil in a C6 ZR1? Seems like if it works good in a LT4 it should work good in a LS9.

I think it's supposed to aid the Direct Injection engines. Not sure if it would benefit the LS9 much/at all. Somebody with more experience may want to step in.

Let's get started with Oil. The OEM used fluid on the ZL1 is Mobil 1 5w30. You can use that oil if you're just driving on the street/drag strip. If you're tracking, you'd want to request 15w50.

As I'm sure most of you know by now, Mobil 1 brought out a new oil with GM for the new LT5 (ZR1) and LTA (CT6 V-Sport) and is now the standard fill for dealers on LT1 and LT4 engines as well. It's called Mobil 1 ESP 0w40 Dexos 2. Yes, long name. This is NOT the same oil as the current 0w40 Extended Performance or 0w40 European. This is brand new and is for the LT1, LT4, LT5, and LTA engines. For the LT4, it can be used for both street AND track use. I would highly recommend using this oil for ZL1s, ZL1 1LEs, Z06s, CTS-V3s, and LT1 based cars. In my case, I think the car idles and revs a little smoother, call me crazy but I'm not the only one reporting this. And the big benefit is of course it can handle both street and track use so no need for an oil change before a track day. This oil is ONLY available at Dealers at this time, it will be available to the public at the end of this year.

As for the differential fluid, you ONLY want to use the OEM ACDelco stuff. Don't let them put in anything else. The additive in the OEM fluid is critical to the eLSD.

I HIGHLY recommend noting the names and part numbers on your phone or a piece of paper when you go to take the car to service just to make sure you double check their work. Had I not been there, my service department was going to use a generic diff fluid and OEM 5w30 oil.

To make it easier, here's what you need to know:

Part Numbers & Names:
New Oil: 19370233 - Mobil 1 Dexos 2 0-40 ESP - 1 Quart (You'll need 10) (Just for extra info, 1 Liter is GM Part # 19353135 and a 55 gallon drum is GM Part # 19370234.)
Diff Fluid: 88862624 - 10-4034 - 75W-90 ACDELCO 1 Quart (You'll need 2, mine took about 1.75-1.8 quarts)
0w40 Oil Cap: 12686472 (Not necessary, but the info on it will reflect oil in the car)
Oil Filter: ACDelco PF64

While you're there, see if there are any open TSBs or updates for the car.

Hope this helps!



Side note: I have a Borla 60606 X Pipe on mine with a Corsa Xtreme 14784BLK axle back, which I installed at about 200 miles. So I had the tech re-torque all of the clamps. Happy to report they weren't loose or leaking at all, but it's always a good idea to check.

Hi, I tried finding the Mobil 1 with the 19370233 part # & it stated that rhe oil was discontinued. Just to confirm the part number is 19370233?

I just ordered some a week ago and received via UPS yesterday. Number is correct. I did hear they are phasing out the Liter stock for the Quart stock. Perhaps that is cause for the part# confusion.

I listed all three part numbers you can try. Liter is likely what still works, the quart is JUST released. So try liter and quart numbers and see. Both numbers are correct.

I just had my oil changed. Dealer wouldn’t put in the 0w40...said it was an upgrade for corvettes only and not included in the free oil change. Said they could order it and install on
Next oil change if I paid for it. Is this the case everywhere? Are you guys getting the upgrade for free? I’m in Canada FYI.
Also, great post, but is there an official GM site somewhere wher I can go to show my dealer this posted Mobil 1 upgrade?

Thanks ��

It's not Corvette specific, it's ENGINE specific... they should do their homework better. But I am not sure if it's included in the courtesy oil change.

Great info! Changing oil for track sessions is a PITA.

IKR...when they said that I mentioned it was the corvette engine....not worth arguing over on the first oil change but will be pushing for it at 1500 miles.

Great post. I recently switched to the ESP 0W 40 and concur with your assessment that it runs smoother and quieter. I was a little surprised at how noticeable it was.

Also, since a liter is slightly more than a quart make sure you check at the 9 liter point. At 9 liters it was just barely showing on the fill marks. Having the quart product out should take the guess work out. I used just a hair over 9 liters. You do not want to overfill!

If you buy a 55 gallon drum, it looks like you save about a dime per quart.

Boy, I hope my dealer doesn't give me any of this crap when I go next week to get my oil changed.
