Fairfax, Virginia – ExxonMobil has launched a new lubricants technology agreement with General Motors for the Chevrolet Corvette. As part of the relationship, Chevrolet has chosen Mobil 1 motor oil as factory fill for the 2015 Corvette Z06 and the 2014 Corvette Stingray with the Z51 Performance Package.
Building on a 21-year lubricants relationship with ExxonMobil, Chevrolet also named Mobil 1 5W-30, which meets or exceeds GM dexos1 specifications, as the recommended service fill for all Corvette models. In addition, for on-track and high-performance applications, Chevrolet is recommending owners use Mobil 1 15W-50 to ensure engine protection and optimal efficiency.
“It is a testament to ExxonMobil’s commitment to advanced lubricant technology that Chevrolet has chosen Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil for the high-performance Corvette engines,” says David Tsurusaki, strategic global alliance manager, ExxonMobil Fuels & Lubricants.
In addition to select production Corvettes, Mobil 1 lubricants drive efficiency and power for Corvette Racing’s C7.R in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. With Mobil 1 lubrication technology, the Corvette team competes in some of the most demanding endurance races in the world including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Rolex 24 at Daytona and the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
