Just found out today that apparently Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is not Dexos certified. I’ve been using their 0W-40 in my 2019 SS since my first oil change at 1500 miles. I guess from now on I’ll be running Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40. My question is, I still have about 3k miles until I need to change the oil. Can I wait that out, or should I change to a Dexos2 oil ASAP? At this point, I’m concerned I’ve caused some undue wear because I didn’t use a Dexos2 oil.

Also, my manual says I can run a Dexos1 5W-30 oil if the proper 0W-40 isn’t available, but only for street use. I don’t track the car, so I assume it’s fine to use. Does anyone else run 5W-30 in a 2019+?

Kind of crazy there are only two Dexos2 0W-40 oils available.
