Correct. This is the GM list. No other products on the market meet the GM4718M oil spec. This is not a discussion on "my oil's better than yours" but simply a "here is GM's list" of registered products.

St. Jude Donor '15
"In honor of jpee"
or WalMart synthetic?
I do think that list was revised sometime after june '09. last year, I didn't see some of those names on the list. some I've never even heard of, i.e., warren, pinnacle, coastal, etc.
so, someday it's possible that WalMart's will be on the list...maybe.

For us warm weather C6 drivers - note that 10W-30 IS on the list, in spite of what some doubters would have you believe.

I've this before - show me ONE documented case where GM denied a warranty claim for engine failure due to using an "unapproved oil" of the correct viscosity changed IAW their scheduled maintenance.

Other oils may well meet the spec, but have yet to be tested against it to receive certification.

It always has been on the list, it just isn't recommended for the car....per the owner's manual. The manual says to use 4718 approved oil in a 5w-30 weight. There have always been many oils that meet the 4718 spec in different weights.

Melting Slicks
There are a lot of people running Amsoil, Royal Purple, etc. - I have yet to read about the engine blowing on them. Maybe it costs $ to be on the list?
