 | | Question: | | Why is Mobil 1, and Not Mobil 1 Extended Performance, Recommended for Newer Corvettes? | |
I use Mobil 1 5W-30, the recommended oil for my car. Why is it NOT recommended
that I can use Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 in my vehicle? I drive a
2006 Corvette Z06. Surely the same oil with a greater amount of cleaning
agents would be superior.

While your car is under the manufacturer’s warranty, follow its maintenance
instructions, which includes using Mobil 1 5W-30. It is approved against the
GM 4718M specification at the OEM recommended oil change interval. Either
Mobil 1 5W-30 or Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 can be used in your
vehicle once it is out of warranty and you will continue to experience
outstanding performance with either product.
