Oil Confusion!

[cowboywildbill]

Welcome aboard!

NO generation of Dexos 1 is compatible. Dexos 1, Gen 2 is NOT Dexos 2. There is no conflict. If you want Mobil 1 oil, check their site for the latest info, or find some Mobil Series 3000 oil, which is Dexos 2 compatible. It's what I used in our Cruze Diesel, and others around here use in their Cruze and Canyon/Colorado Diesels. Or buy GM Dexos 2 from the dealer. At last check, the dealer list price was on par with the rest of them, and less in some cases.

I agree with Dmax. As I understand it but not totally sure, some of the Mobil 1 synthetics supposedly have a Dexos 2 equivalent listed on the container of some of their products.
I am going to run Amsoil or Mobil 1 in my 2.8 on my next oil change.

How often do you change the oil? Book says 7500 miles. Not sure if I like going that long.
