Don't think so, but in any case. Think ill be using 0w40 Super. Just need to find a place that sells it.
GM Dealerships sell it for about $22 per bottle
You're absolutely right. I know that the dexos 2 spec is available in the 5W-30 viscosity but it has never actually been specified by GM for use in the Gen V LT1. Does it matter? Probably not unless there is a question of using the correct spec oil in the event of a warranty claim. I would think that the dexos 2 would be fine but dexos 1 is the specified oil if using 5W-30.
I recall reading that there was a difference in the European oil, which this is versus the North American Mobile 1 (0W40)……what ever my previous findings were, it lead me to purchase the more expensive North American Mobile 1…..I’m thinking maybe it’s because the European oil isn’t Dexos certified!
You are absolutely correct. The product shown from Walmart is the Euro Car formula and is not dexos 2 approved. As such, it is not approved for warranty purposes and GM would certainly deny any failures that may result from the use of this oil. It's formulation is also not friendly to the catalytic converters on our C7's. Please don't use this oil.
that is a decent price. Sold out
I just went to the Amazon site (Canadian) and it shows it as available! As well I’ve ordered this a number of times in the past few years and did have issues regrading availability but after rechecking found it available a week or two later. Also with a “Prime” account (Amazon Prime) the shipping is free with only GST added to the original price.
That is 2$ more a bottle than you can get from any GM dealer.
That thing that looks like a 2 before the Dexos is a swish and actually shows a 1 for dexos 1 (really not a two ) it is dexos 1 generation 2 and generation 3 is available now , but all dexos 1 and all are good for C7 street use .
