Just a few months ago in May, GM & Mobile announced the 600,000th Corvette factory-filled with Mobile 1 rolled off the assembly line. In May '14, they announced Mobile 1 will continue to be the factory-fill oil for Corvette, and that it meets Dexos standards. If that had changed for '16 I'm quite sure it would be big news in the automotive world. Mobile 1 is still the factory-fill oil, so I suggest contacting Chevrolet Customer Care, explain the situation, and they should be able to properly educate your dealer, and have them reimburse you as well. Several people on the various forums have had a similar experience as yours, and CCC got things quickly corrected.
