Just had my oil changed with the new Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40.

My primary dealer didn't have the oil but his computer showed three other dealers in the area that had a supply. What's really odd is that my dealer told me he was unable to order the oil at this time. I ended up having the oil changed at one of the three dealers that had it in stock. The one I went to told me they had 10 cases of the stuff.

Why some dealers have it and other don't or can't order is anyone's guess. I do know that two of the dealers that had it in stock only sell Chevrolets. No other GM vehicles.

I cannot find that oil through a standard vendor. It has a GM part # associated with it and is available through gmpartsdirect, pace, etc.

According to the fact sheet, It won't be widely available at the usual places you purchase motor oil until Q3 2018.

Ask dealer about this oil said price was 11 per quart not sure what they are smoking. I will countinue using 5w 30 until priced reasonable.

My invoice shows a list price of $11.35 per quart. The dealer discounted the price to $7.76 per quart.

Why Valvoline, Mobil or Purple instead of Amsoil?

Amsoil is presented as the best for DI engine.

I ask out of curiosity as I don’t have my Camaro yet. (TPW may the 28th)

Why you ask? Dexos 2 approval is necessary for warranty concerns. Amsoil is a great product that "meets or exceeds Dexos 2" but doesn't have the necessary licensed approval from GM. I'm not going to chance it.
