Default New oil Mobil 1 0W-40

Seen elsewhere : ''The 2019 Corvette is mostly a carry-over from 2018 but there is one major change coming from the factory and our friends that participate in track events are going to love it: All 2019 Corvettes will now feature Mobil 1 ESP Formula 0W-40 synthetic motor oil as the new factory-fill.

This new blend is rated for both street and track use, and it eliminates having to change the previous recommended 5W-30 motor oil for street use to Mobil 1’s 15W-50 for track events, and then back again. The formulation of the new oil has been in the works for quite some time and we can thank our friends from Mobil 1 for making this happen.

Mobil 1’s new 0W-40 motor oil will be available from dealerships starting on February 1st and will show up in retail stores in next six months or so''

Available also for 16, 17, 18' Vettes.Are you aware about this?

I will continue using Mobil 1 5W-30 until I receive an offical letter from Chevrolet.
