Mobil 1 ESP Formula 0W-40 has been rebranded as Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 (Mobil 1 part #126870). GM has licensed this under the new DexosR spec, intended to replace Dexos2 in high performance gasoline engines like the Blackwing, Z06 Corvette and ZL1 Camaro.
Do not use Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 aka "European Car Formula" as this does not meet Dexos2 warranty requirements. Further, Mobil 1 ESP X3 0W-40 carries a GM Dexos2 licensed approval and is a safe alternative to Mobil 1 Supercar. This info comes straight from Exxon Mobil tech desk.....I emailed Exxon Mobil because my Cadillac dealer went out and bought the European Car Formula for my oil change and I argued with them that it was the wrong oil as it needed to have the Dexos2 spec. I went to the Chevy dealership afterward and they told me that they exclusively use the Supercar formula for their Z06s and ZL1s.
