What Is The Factory Fill Oil On Euro-Spec Camaros?
Or is it a country thing, meaning differing oil fill specifications from one member state to the other?
I'm asking because I've heard a few times, that 0W-40 is recommended as fill for Euro-market Vettes..... I'm just curious and want closure on this. |

This is an interesting topic.
US is Mobil 1 5W30. But in Europe, what can legally be defined as a full synthetic is different than in the US. I'm pretty sure that what Mobil is passing off as a full synthetic here would not fly in the EU

Taken from the United Kingdom Chevrolet website.
http://www.chevrolet.co.uk/pdf/manua...01_2_en_GB.pdf Check page 10-9 to see recommended oil. 5W30 same as the USA France has the same manual stating 5W30. Fill with 5W30 but high quality oils such as Amsoil or Joe Gibbs

Although it does answer the maintenance side of it, my real question was about "factory fill". Otherwise I would have posted this in the maintenance sub-forum.  Just curious what the actual specific factory fill is, right off the assembly line to be sold for Europe. |
