The 0 part of the designation isn't the problem, it's the 20 that can potentially cause a problem.

I'm doing a extended oil changed in this very oil in my civic, which then I'll have an oil analysis done. I already put 13,500 miles on 0w20 Amsoil and have those results (outstanding, btw). We'll see what this M1 looks like later.

GM does not say anywhere that it's OK to use any 4718M oil in the Corvette. It says that it's OK to use 5w-30 4718M oil in the Corvette.

yeah, dead horse thing....I think that's why OP put in the smiley.
but, as a follow up, I did receive a comment back from GM (on my question to them) that "Extended Performance" M1, full syn., GM4718M, correct weight, oil is permissible. that's the one that was shown in the video (sitting on the frc with open hood) that came with my '08.

guarantee, someone has read this thread and said, "I didn't know that; good thing I saw this."

It's good to know you could technically use this in a Vette. It's also odd that a 20 grade is approved for this spec. If you are racing or trying to get a bit more Hp, I'd use it. Another good choice is their 0w-30. All three are very good oils, it would be interesting to see how they all perform in the C6.

As others have pointed out, meeting GM4718M alone doesn't mean that it is acceptable for use in corvette. Viscosity grade also has to be correct or within owner manual acceptable limits.

Last week in the 0w-30 thread you basically asked this same question 3 times and were given the answer there:
"So it is better to have a 0W at start up so the oil flows faster than 5W? "
"Doesn't the 0 flow faster to the engine vs. the 5W? Isn't this a good thing? "
"By using a 0W-30 won't the engine warm up faster and get better gas mileage? "
I'm certain you know the answer by now so why do you keep asking? It almost seems like you are trying to stir the pot to hear an argument.
Whats the point?

I have to ask. What is it with you and 0w vs 5w oil.
