Ahh ok, didn't see that. Thanks (even though it's in a big red banner at the top of the screen ).

That's the 0w-40 European Synthetic Motor Oil, not the dexos specification for C7s shown below, also note it's available in both quarts and liters.

I'll just keep using the antiquated measly Mobil 1 5W-30 until the 0W-40 falls close to the same price and becomes readily available. No need to "Chicken Little" over this new oil.

I agree as I initially was going to continue using the 5W-30 as well since that's what originally came in my '17 GS, however finally decided to go with the 0W-40 since it does provide less wear on engine for cold-weather starts and I do sometimes start/drive my C7 on sunny cold winter days if no salt on roads. But really as long as not tracking your car, it's probably makes little difference either way.

Same here. It's only needed if you track your car and don't want to change oil back to 5W30 after. No need to use it in my case. If they are side by side at Walmart for the same price I might grab it. We'll see if that ever happens. Doesn't really matter.

Your comment makes no sense Al. GM chose to start using this oil in the C7 for a reason, they aren't getting any monetary gain out of it. GM doesn't really care whether you use 5w30 or the new 0w40, but there are very clear benefits to the new oil if you do some research about it, and the benefits aren't just for those people that track their cars and want to eliminate the swapping back and forth between 15w50 and 5w30 all the time.

It might not make a difference to the average C7 owner that doesn't even come close to putting 100k on their cars before trading them in, but I do believe in the long run that this oil (and any of the dexos2 oils) will be a better choice in keeping the engine cleaner and engine wear lower for those that plan on keeping their cars for way beyond 100k. (and before anyone chimes in and says they got 200k out of their C4 or C5 or C6, using M1 5w30, keep in mind that those were different engines, not using direct injection and this makes it a whole different ballgame, so what worked before might not necessarily be the best choice now)

Be aware that if you mean Fleabay seller collins8575, he has very poor communications. I ordered and he quickly sent me a Fedex tracking number. But after a while, he did not tender it to Fedex. So I asked and he said it was going to ship the following Monday. Never did. Then I asked again and he confessed it was out of stock. I disputed the charge and he shipped it a few days later. It did come as advertised, but if you notice he has few reviews.

My free oil change on my 2019 Corvette was billed out at $264.00 Canadian last month.

Oh oh you don't think GM makes money off this, of course I know your kidding yourself, and they decided to come up with this five years later after the 7th been on the market so I'm not sure what that means 5 years later, they decide, let's make some more money let's scam these guys some more. But, is your cash, do whatever u want.

Exxon Mobil makes money off the sale of the new oil, not GM. It's not some sort of conspiracy between the two to take money from our pockets.

Check the seller on EBAY. Make him an offer. Should be able to get for $120 or so shipped for 12 quarts.

For owners who track their C7s and wish to comply with the warranty it's a boon over 5W30 in that the requirement to change the oil before going to the track and again afterwards disappears...

Buy it in the fall and spring during one of the M1 rebate events and get $12 back per 5-qt. jug (limit 2). Helluva deal.

GM was getting grief from Corvette owners about having to change their oil every time they track their car so they were able to convince EXXON/Mobil to repackage the European 0W40 into a container that said dexos and charge twice as much.

Like a lot of other owners I'll continue to use 5W30 in my car. Buy it for $4.57 a quart($22.88 for 5 qt. jug, then with the $12 rebate it's less than $2.25 a quart. It's a no brainer since I'm changing it at about 5K miles with no track time.

You bring up a good point...It would be interesting to know from an analytical testing standpoint how much different the two 0W40 varieties are, if there's even any difference all.
