Default Mobil 1 Celebrates 600,000th Corvette as Preferred Motor Oil



This stunning red C7 marks the 600,000th Corvette to roll off the assembly line with Mobil 1 as the car’s preferred motor oil, part of a 21-year relationship between Mobil 1 and Corvette.

The oil cap should say MOBIL 1, not dexos. Just sayin'.....we need new oil caps!
(ALL Corvettes whether they be 2014/2015/Z51/Z06/Base get Mobil 1)

Mobil 1 preferred by GM, not necessarily all Corvette owners. Mobil 1 quality has varied considerably over the years.

ONLY 21 years---that means, 1994. A bit odd since I know the '93 models came with it, and Mobil's site it was the '92 that came off the line "factory-filled" with Mobil 1.

I've used Mobile 1 in my last 5 Corvettes, over 250,000 miles and never a problem.
Beautiful Z06 there in that photo, I wouldn't mind having it.
