Mobil 1 0W 40 ESP is Rebranded Mobil 1 Supercar
I thought it was time for another oil thread.
 Seriously, it was reported today on CorvetteBlogger that Mobil 1 0W 40 ESP is being rebranded Mobil 1 Supercar. This should eliminate any confusion with the 0W 40 European formula. This oil will be the factory fill for the Camaro ZL1 and C8 Stingray. A 5W 50 weight will be the factory fill in the LT6. https://www.corvetteblogger.com/2022...il-1-supercar/ Oh yea, instead of a Dexos2 designation it’s now the new DexosR.

Book calls for Dexos2 so DexosR will get us into trouble when something happens?

 I guess this finally confirms the ZL1 is a super car!

From the article:
“Mobil 1 Rebrands ESP Formula 0W-40 as Mobil 1 Supercar” Also from the article: “Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 may share the same name as Mobil 1 0W-40 but these two blends aren’t the same and are not interchangeable. Mobil 1 says that while the viscosity is identical, the formulation of Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 is the result of 24 months of grueling tests and precise engineering, and it’s specifically designed to guarantee it meets the strict dexos-spec required for all C7 and C8 Corvettes.” Thank you CorvetteBlogger for the confusion  Good that I checked, as I was planning to use my remaining ESP quarts with new Supercar quarts. But according to that last bit, this is not advised… Geoff |

I think you read that wrong. Mobil 1 ESP 0w-40 IS Mobil 1 Supercar. If you have ESP, you absolutely can use it with Supercar. It's the regular Mobil 1 0w-40 they want to avoid confusion with.

Interchangeable? IMO, I'll take that with a grain of salt from a blogger. If we actually look at the technical properties data, they are identical. They both are Dexos 2 certified, 0W40. Nothing bad will happen if they are mixed. If there was some sort of terrible chemistry as a result of mixing them, GM would have introduced a new certification.
>Marketing< And if we look at Mobil's display, it says: "New look, same tech" "The new advanced synthetic was originally called Mobil 1 ESP Formula 0W40............Now the name is changing..........." 0W40 ESP GL-XX-Mobil-1-ESP-Formula-0W-40.pdf 0W40 SuperCar Mobil has already certified the European ESP X3 0W40 as Dexos 2. 0W40 ESP X3 European GL-XX-Mobil-1-ESP-X3-0W-40.pdf Actually, the European X3 0W40 has little better viscosity #s
