Try the specification is that you "MUST use oil meeting GM standard
GM4718M". THAT is what is SPECIFIED, the fact that Mobil 1 meets that
specification means that you MAY use it NOT that it is SPECIFIED. ANY
other oil meeting said specification may also be used. SO, the statement
is "GM DOESN'T specify Mobil 1." It is only missinterpreted by some
folks to say that.

And the text on the sticker outlines the warrenty requirements?

Sorry but the "plaque" doesn't specify the requirements.

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

I use Mobile One 5-30w or Pennzoil Platinum 5-30w, whichever is on
sale. Both are GM 4718m certified.

My 92 said in the owners manual specifically they put mobil 1 in at the
factory, but by the standards the others are approved.
