New Mobil 1 "GM Recommends" Bling

[YFCvii]

No, I ordered Z51 package options didn't want dry sump or drilled rotors no need . My filler is on valve cover.

Interesting .... very interesting
Thank you for explaining this as it was not realized that the order-process
can refine what is assumed to be an all-or-nothing Z51 package that is
seen/explained and priced in the build-your-own process on the website.
I appreciate knowing this for the next time a "salesperson" shrugs me off
saying just "build-your-own" when inquiring about pricing & spec'ing the ZR1.
It's already known that I cannot select blue calipers on the website
and now I know much much much more with this "don't bother me crap" when asking
at pretty much every dealership in Calgary. I keep getting told just price out another
caliper color and it should be close ... YYSSW YYC-GM sales-dudes ...
I am happy but they stink-eye wondering why I have bought two up North already.
The "ZR1 smell-test" is on my "to-do list" as we hibernate in the coming months.

Ha ... something had me laughing out loud today ...
Took my 2016 dry sump Ray in for oil renew today and
the song has changed now ...
"Do you know GM recommends that we put Mobil 1 in your car?"

coincidence that I have just run out of "inclusive" oil renews ...
(but I've arm wrestled getting Mobil 1 all along anyways)
now $225 a pop and mid $150 range for the stuff
that they wanted to put in for the past two years ...

They had recommended it for awhile now in Ontario , I posted the letter from GM last year. Will they let you bring your own oil?
If so watch for sales. Budds GM in Oakville told me to bring my own oil and filter they charge 20 bucks to do change.

I figure I'm looking at a realized difference of saving about $65 on an
apples-to-apple full-price Mobil 1 bring my own oil & filter as I'm not
one who is good having eyes glued to where and when anything
goes on sale. My time is mainly focused on running a Business.
I would also have to "negotiate" that a Dealer would be OK with this and
also to not just put a "greenhorn" millennial techie each time on my dry sump oil changes.
Too much negotiating and too much risk for me for $65 that also has a very tiny amount
of a business-use write off too. I might be singing a different tune in retirement years though.
So holding onto my smiley face (grin and bearing it) until then .....

Ok, sad news. Cap arrived looked great, but,
Doesn't fit I'm guessing for dry sump only.
Good news Amazon refunded no issues when I sent it back through UPS for free.

Will keep looking

You are 100% correct ... it’s a dry sump equipped cap.
Warning all future oil renews ... it’s ADIOS DEXOS ..
