Is Mobil 1 factory fill on new 2015 Corvette's? How about 2014?

As mentioned in another thread on this page, M1 is factory fill with the Z51 package and on the Z06 models, but the base Stingray gets semi synthetic.

Is there a vendor that sells oil caps that say "MOBIL 1 ONLY"?

They may say Mobil 1 instead of DEXOS, but never seen one that says Mobil 1 ONLY. You really think that would stop anyone from putting in whatever they normally use?
Even though Mobil 1 may be the oil of "preference" by some Corvette owners, the dealer is probably going to use the GM Dexos blend unless you request Mobil 1.

Just curious, do any of the engines, including the Z06, still have a Mobil 1 filler cap from the factory?
