Did you actually place and receive your order? If not, beware. I placed an order with Tasca week before last. They charged my card for the order right away. I waited the customary few business days before expecting an email regarding when it would ship but after seeing no update on my order all week, I tried to get them on the phone this last Monday, that too in vain. They finally emailed me today that they were cancelling the order due to unavailability of the oil. I get that covid has made this business of sourcing and shipping trickier, but they need to get their act together and update their website when supply is short or not available. It was literally a deal too good to be true; I would have just bit the bullet and ordered two cases from Amazon and changed the oil the next weekend. Now I have to wait another week.

Glad you mentioned that. I have not. I just searched the net and found their pricing. I will say however that I called about the LT2 intake and never got anyone on the phones after repeated calls. I will just buy the oil from a local ish dealer when the time comes. They quoted me $7.70 a quart.

I ordered parts from Tasca once. I will never use them again. Total nightmare, of course they blame everything on covid. I ordered oil from Amazon and got the matching oil cap too. Whoope!

Amazon, etc are all operating in similar circumstances, yet Tasca is the only one unable to fulfill orders. Not really the best way to stay in business.

Ish? Is that an acronym, or did you mean localish? I'd like to get that price too!

"If 0W-40 dexos2 oil is not available, SAE 5W-30 dexos1 full synthetic engine oil may be used for street use." This seems like the best compromise to adhere to the bs dexros2 spec while keeping cost per quart down. Yes its 5w30 but they clearly say in the owners manual if you cant find 0w40 dexos2 you can supplement 5w30 dexos1. SO this above is a step above that supplement in that its dexo2 from Penzoil.

With shipping it came out to about $5.40/qt. Case of 12 was $55.xx and then shipping and tax came out to $65/case and I got two cases.

The Havoline ProDS 5/40 is Dexos 2 approved and is like $5.60 a quart or so at Napa, or was last month anyway. Which oil did you just order? I can get the Mobil ESP at my son's work for $7.50 a quart, I may end up just running that so I'm not switching back and forth unless I know it will be a while before my next track visit. Lately, I've done one HPDE two years ago and doing another one in November.

So if we can find a dexos2 in 5w40 (while at a price per qt lower than apprx $7.xx for M1 ESP) then we should be ok for either track use or street. I know that it calls for 0w40 for either track or street but if the 0w vs 5w is just for better flow while reaching normal operating temps then the 0w part isn't REALLY a needed specification as GM leads us to believe needed at the track. Its really the 40 that they are suggesting is all around for street and track vs say a 5w30 for street only, where the 30 would be too low for track. At least I think all the above is what I've been reading and hearing discussed on this forum.

While I agree with you about the lower number, especially for warm weather where it takes less time for the motor to warm up, I'd worry it could be a reason to be denied warranty coverage if the motor blows up with the 5w-40 dexos2 in it. I should probably look at the owner's manual/performance supplement to see if GM has recommended a range of acceptable dexos1 or 2 oils as opposed to specific grades.
