Your owners manual says do not use oil with SM additives...which will be on the label as you mention.

The Mobil 1 4T formula has evidently been changed. If you look around, you can still find some of the older "non SM" oil on the shelves. As the Mobil 1 was getting scarce, I opted to switch to Amsoil on my last change.

The old bottles are black and have a silver/gray label, But i doubt you'll find them any more??
