Hello Richard.
Nice to hear from a ZR-1 owner in Spain.
About the Mobil 1 thing, I use Mobil 1 5W50 for my Corvette. The Mobil 1 grades you will find in Spain will not be the same that are available in the US (which are ALL). I suppose it's a weather temperatures or commercial issue.
I have been using for more than 2 years, from when I bought my ZR-1 in the US, the Mobil 1 5W50 without any problems. I also use it in the ZF manual transmission, and works OK.
I have done about 40.000 Km in the last 2 years and without trouble.
You can also find Mobil 1 0W40 in Spain, but its price is more expensive than the 5W50, so I switched to 5W50. And theoricaly it has a wider temperature usage.
Ramon.
