Just wondering...my LT-4 does not have the "Mobil 1 Oil" decal at the base of the underside of my hood. Should it?? If so, who has them for sale??

CP :confused

I don't recall seeing a Mobil 1 emblem under the hood. I know that the C5s have the emblem. There may be something about synthetic oil on the oil cap, but I will have to check to make sure.

Yep, I checked the oil filler cap and it says Mobil 1 across the center of the cap.

No, it should not have that emblem. The LT1s had it as my 92 did, but the 96 does not have that emblem. The only ref to Mobil 1 is on the oil cap.

I could be wrong, but I think someone put that mobil 1 emblem on your GS unless your the orig. owner. I remember this emblem no emblem being a discussion back in 95-96, but as far as I remember, it was noticeably absent on 96 LT4s and maybe LT1s as well.

It shouldnt have any emblem, other than the one on your oil cap. Im not sure what year they stopped, but I am pretty confident that the previous Mobil 1 emblem was not on LT4s.

Im in Arlington. I have a CE and love it, but kind of wish I had spent the extra $$ and went with the GS. Same engine, your car is just more unique and impressive to look at.

As for the emblem, I would post a question on the Grand Sport Registry to make sure, but again, I am 99% certain that - that emblem should not be on your hood. Let me know what you find out.

I believe that GM stopped putting the Mobil 1 plaque in late 95(my 95 has one), and started putting it on the oil caps for later models. With the run of C4's ending and the LS program starting, I suppose they didn't go to the trouble of having a few thousand made.

My 95 Lt-1 had a Mobil 1 sticker underhood. My 96 LT-4 does not. Both cars were bought new at the same dealership. At the time I purchased the 96 I asked about the missing Mobil-1 sticker and was told thst the factory had stoped putting them sometime during the 96 model year run. Since the car had 12 miles on the clock I believed them. On both cars the oil filler cap has Mobil-1 5wt/30wt as the specific oil to use.
