Default Mobil Extended Performance Oil meets GM 4718M

Although they do not advertise it, Mobil Extended Performance 5W-30 Oil meets GM 4718M.

I asked them in an Email and they replied,


"Thank you for your inquiry,

The Mobil1 EP 5W30 motor oil will also meet the GM 4718M requirement.

--
Thank you for choosing ExxonMobil products.
If you need further assistance, please contact ExxonMobil at 1-800-ASK-MOBIL

MJ"

This oil has more additives and a higher TBN, should be better than regular Mobil 1.

Mobil's own site does not list EP 5w30 as meeting the Corvette specs, as it does other Mobil 1 oils. Nor does the GM site list it as an approved oil that meets the Corvette spec. But, the Mobil & GM sites could be outdated. Did they say when it was approved?
