I’ve asked this before in another thread, but does anyone know if this oil is going to transition to the officially recommended oil for 2017/2018 ZL1s? Ive seen only mention of 2019 models, though I’m assuming it’ll be retroactive. Anyone?

Yes, the dealership did this for me last week.

0w 40 is not thinner than 5w 30...

I plan on buying two quarts/liters a week at a time until it's time for an oil change.

The part number for the oil is:

19370233 and 19353135

Funny thing is, when I asked about the first part number they gave me the latter

...oh well..either or I guess.

Why the two part numbers ?

I think the 19370233 part number is the euro liter bottle and the 19353135 part number is the US quart bottle.

Here is an education of mult-weight oil. My father was a chemist at Conoco and explained to me a long time ago about mult weight. The added polymers (viscosity index improvers (VII)) are not lubricants. The more polymers the less lubricating properties. But here is a chart of what temperature does to viscosity.

Hit 1500 miles and finished changing rear diff and engine oil. My local dealership now carries Mobil 1 ESP, 0w40, Dexos 2.

Oil looked clean in both, far less metal partiicals than the 500 oil change.
