New oil recommendation
I'm was just out at the Ron Fellows school (end of September 2019) and inside our packet was a full color slick paper stock sheet on Mobile1 oil. It says it is a "new" recommendation of Mobile 1 ESP 0w-40 oil for track and everyday street use. It is worded as this is a new official application but the sheet was undated so I'm not sure how "new" this may be. Is anybody using the ESP 0w-40 for all around and track? About 9 months ago on my first 500 mile change they asked me if it was going to have a lot of track time. I said some but not a majority. They used GM part number 19370233 which is the Mobile 1 ESP 0w-40. I think if I had said yes they would have used the 14w-40, It's time for my 2nd oil change, and even though I am now doing some drag racing and will hopefully will start some HPD events I will likely stay with the 0w-40 based on this sheet. What are you all using and what is your usage profile.

The believe the recommendation changed in 2018 or 2019.
I am running the 0W-40 now. Have yet to track with it in, as I was running the 15W-40 before. I got 7,500 miles before the OLM indicated it was time to change. That is based on daily driving and 4 track days.
