V6 does NOT say Mobil 1 - only "5W-30"

You didn't pay enough for a V6 to get the undisclosed Mobil 1 cap upgrade.

What's the owner's manual say to use?

I had an oil burning 74 Monte Carlo and checked my oil as I filled up and left NC for Ohio. I put some in and headed off. At my next fill up I popped the hood and found my dipstick resting comfortably on top the air cleaner

There may be a magnet on the bottom of the oil pan... just a guess

Nope but you can buy the mag plugs at parts store.

Another reason I say brake it in easy and change the oil at least once.

If I am lucky enough to get a Camaro later i'll be running Royal Purple 5/30 in it 4 sure. In my opinion far superior to Mobile 1.
