It's amazing the effort will put in to not do what the owner's manual tells them to do!

Well damn, my 2022 manual must be wrong then because I copy pasted exactly what is in the manual.

"If 0W-40 dexos2 oil is not available, SAE
5W-30 dexos1 full synthetic engine oil may
be used for street use"

Sounds pretty clear to me

As far as price goes, the supercar oil looks close to about double. Not exactly what I expected when I bought the car especially considering 10qt oil changes but it is what it is. Maybe the kids will have to eat leftovers

Are you done scolding me, Karen?
