ExxonMobil has announced that Chevrolet has chosen Mobil 1 motor oil as factory fill for all 2014 and 2015 Camaro Z/28 models. As the world’s leading synthetic motor oil brand, Mobil 1 is recommended by many of the world’s leading auto manufacturers. The newest factory fill selection adds to the more than 60 vehicle models that are factory filled with Mobil 1.
Chevrolet is recommending Mobil 1 5W-30, which meets or exceeds all GM dexos1 requirements, for service-fill on the Camaro Z/28 as well as Mobil 1 15W-50 for use during track events and competitive driving events.
"Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil is designed at the molecular level to provide outstanding protection against weather conditions, wear and sludge buildup and is a perfect choice for drivers that demand the most out of their high performance vehicles," said David Tsurusaki, strategic global alliance manager, ExxonMobil Fuels & Lubricants. "The two highest-performance Camaros - the Z/28 and the COPO Camaro drag car - feature Mobil 1 right from the factory."
The Camaro Z/28 comes equipped with a standard 10.5-quart, dry-sump oil system that distributes pressurized Mobil 1 motor oil from an external reservoir to protect vital components under high-g driving conditions. Mobil 1 motor oil provides excellent oil aeration control in dry sump reservoir systems, even in demanding race conditions. In addition, the excellent high temperature stability of Mobil 1 motor oil helps prevent friction and wear on high performance engines.
The Camaro Z/28 is equipped with a lightweight, naturally aspirated 7.0L V-8 engine that delivers 505 horsepower. It has already proven to be most track-capable Camaro ever, lapping the famed Nurburgring in Germany in 7:37.47.
