Isn't marketing a wonderful thing? Close your eyes and pick one. You're covered. ;)

Only the original fully synthetic Mobil 1 meets the GM4718M standard for the Corvette, and that's the only one I use.

Take a look at Mobil's web site and see for yourself.

I would go with the high mileage. Its a thicker oil and with high mileage cars, the parts are beginning to wear down (piston rings, valve seals etc). The thicker oil will will stay where it supposed to be and not leak through the seals like the thinnner oil will with high mileage.

I stand corrected. Go with what Blacksedan87 said.

Doesn't really matter, especially if you change your oil every 3000 miles...:lol:

Stick with standard Mobil 1.

M1 Extended Mileage does not meet GM spec and sounds like it's for engines that have been somewhat abused:
Mobil 1 High Mileage is designed especially for engines where conventional oil has been used, and where these conditions have been experienced:
  • Severe Service
  • Extended Oil Drains
  • Poor Maintenance
  • Multiple Owners
Extended Performance is marketing hyped as well as doesn't meet GM spec.
