Mobil 1 - oil change experience in Canada

formula80_ca said:

Just did the 500 mile oil change on my 2015 Z51, and asked for Mobil 1, they didn't seem to blink, but it was at a dealership in Vancouver that others on the forum have stated they had issues with regarding Mobil 1.

The invoice just lists 10 L of oil (with a code - no mention of type) would anyone know if that code can determine what type of oil they used?

My last service states 10 units of part 10953468 Oil

But if you look here it shows that part as being Mobil 1

Thanks a lot for this info smackYYZ ! I will check my invoice for the code when I get home tonight.

Just had my first oil change done yesterday after work and they asked which oil I wanted ? I told them Mobil 1 and that is what they put in as I watched them do the job . Good service.

Yup, that is the code on my invoice, so it looks like Dueck downtown in Vancouver are using Mobil 1, for Z51's.

I see the ongoing debate on the U.S forums about Mobil 1 for oil changes, will the dealer provide the recommended Mobil 1 or only allow the cheaper Dexos be used expecting the customer to cover the difference. Seems the dealers are all over the map in the U.S..

My understanding is that GM has said Mobil 1 is the standard for the C7, regardless of Z51 or base. What is or has been your experience in Canada. I did my own first oil/filter change with fully synthetic at 500 miles , now contemplating going in to the dealer for the spring change.

Owais would you pass along your dealerships policy on the oil to be used , and your understanding, thanks !

This is what was communicated to GM dealers, this provided by a U.S dealer...

I looked at the the TSB. and what you quote is for USA models only, not sure how that works, there is no difference. I am going back to dealership to talk to service manager on this mine is not a dry sump system. Most info I see states GM came to a deal with Mobil one and this gave way to the change.
As a note it says on filler cap Dexon 5w30.
Owners manual states Mobil one recommended by GM for dry sump engines.
Dexon 1 for non dry sump engines. Or cars being used on track.
If you have a new 17, non dry sump what does it state now?

Here is he link for the TSB.

Either way it's your ride do what you feel is right, ensure the oil bottle states Dexon 1 approved.

I just had my 800 break-in oil change... I took it to Leggat Chevrolet in Burlington Ontario. My 2017 has Mobil 1 on the oil cap, as well as it came with a sticker for me to install (why the factory don't do it is beyond me, they install all the other stickers). I asked if they used Mobil 1 on Vettes and he said they do, and it was on my receipt stating Mobil 1. I didn't not get any "remainder" from a bottle though. leggatchevrolet.ca
