Reply to "GM4718M corvette oil"

Many oil companies recommend their correct motor oil on their websites. Here is the one for Castrol in the Netherlands: http://www.castrol.com/castrol...e.do?categoryId=3200 . Most have product recommendations based on year, make, model and engine. Just follow their recommendations and you will be fine.

In the US and Canada, most vehicle manufacturers recommend an oil that meets API specs. These are very minimal specifications that the lowest priced oils often meet. Chevrolet realizes that many of these API oils are not robust enough to work well in a Corvette, so they upgraded the API specs slightly and invented their own spec. European oils are generally much better than our API specs, and likely already meet or exceed the Corvette spec, so it may be unnecessary to list that spec on their bottles, especially since Corvettes are fairly rare in Europe, yet common place in the US.
