Default $20 per quart!
I just talked to the local Chevy dealer and they have the Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40 in stock.... at $19.65 per quart.

I think Valvoline Synpower MST 5W-40 will be my oil of choice. It doesn't get that cold in Florida and it's Dexos 2 approved. $6.97 at Walmart

Damn, that's a helluva mark up for the oil. Full blown GM retail pricing is $11.49 per quart.

$11.95 is what I paid at my local dealer. Since then I've gone back to running the Euro spec 0W-40 M1.

Nope, that is the European Car Formula, not the ESP version that is Dexos 2 rated.

The correct oil is Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40 motor oil 19353135 for the liter or 19370233 for the quart size.

I bought my oil from speedwaymotors:
https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Mobil...ts,371931.html
It was $50 for 6-pack when I bought it (free shipping), but since then, and after we advertised it on other threads, it went up to $60.

Summit Racing also has them, with free shipping, for $64:

I'm not seeing where Summit has the oil. Have a link for the 19353135 or 19370233?

Update me on the Why? My owners manual (2016 Z) calls for 5-30 meeting Dexos 1 spec. And that is on sale for Mobil One at 27.99 a 6 quart case w free shipping at Costco now.

The new Dexos 2 ESP 0W-40 is supposed to be suitable for both daily and track driving. 5W-30 isn't, at least that is my understanding.
