Hello folks,
The winter hibernation has been long enough. I drove the C7 today, and went to get the first oil change done (800km on it so far).
It's a non-z51, and I wasn't sure if the dealership would put in Mobil1, or go by the cap and use GM dexos semi-synthetic.
When I got there, I asked the service adviser. He was very nice and polite, and stated they generally use Mobil1 in the Corvettes and he'd make sure that's what the technician puts in my car.
After it was done, he looked for me in the waiting area, and advised that he personally oversaw the operation, and that they had used Mobil1. It was stated on the invoice as well (amount owing was zero'd out; 1 of the 4 free oil changes).
They washed the car, cleaned inside the rims, exhaust tips, everything very nicely. I didn't use a car cover during storage and there was a solid 2" of dust on the car
Overall it was a very pleasant experience. I was not given a hard time about using Mobil1 at all, and was not charged a premium, etc contrary to some of the posts I have read on the US forum.
