The manual says to use Mobil1 5w30 motor oil that meets GM 4718M standard. What mobil1 oil meets that standard, and is it synthetic or just regular motor oil???

I googled it and found out that it is Advanceed Full Synthetic and there is a 'Star" on the bottom front of the container.

I went to O'reillys and got it, but no star on the container, just NASCAR APPROVED ON THE BOTTOM.

Did iI get the right oil?????

..."Mobil 1™ motor oil ... the first globally available full synthetic automotive motor oil. Though it was originally released to safely enhance fuel efficiency, later formulations of Mobil 1 motor oil offered outstanding wear protection over the widest range of temperatures...

Thank you so much!! I just wrote a thread about what I purchased; Mobil1 5w30 Advanced Full Synthetic.
