Question:
When I take my 2016 Corvette in for an oil change, the owners manual specifies Dexos1 engine oil, but I have been told to ask for the Mobil 1 engine oil. What is the difference and is the Mobil 1 engine oil the preferred oil to use?
Year: 2016 – Model: Z51
Al Says:
Dexos is an excellent product, but GM will pay for Mobil 1 on your first four oil changes. But…but only if you request it. The difference is Mobil 1 is 100 percent synthetic. GM has recommended Mobil 1 since the late 1980’s for Corvettes, but C7’s have Dexos on the filler Cap
First oil change should be done at 3000 miles or less. 500 miles on Z06.
