Yeah that’s what’s called for in the 2.8 duramax. It’s pretty good oil for a esp

Walmart also has this cheap d2 5w30

I can't believe I'm excited that I got M1 0w-40 ESP for $7.75 a quart from the dealer where my son works. That's still nuts when you can get 5w-30 Dexos 1 for $18 for 6 quarts!!!! If I weren't headed to the track next month, I would have used my leftover 5w-30 Valvoline MST Dexos otherwise.

Actually, those are some pretty good prices.

I got some quotes on the prices of the Motel 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 today. Not bad at all. I can get a 5L jug for CAN$43 which is like US$33. For a Dexos 2 oil that's actually a very very good price. I will see how much the ESP 0W-40 costs. Will see if I can get a hold of the distributor.

For people saying that 0W is better for cold starts, I agree, but then 5W-30 is deemed acceptable for street use, so I don't see how 5W-40 is not okay to use for both street and track use. Both are of similar viscosity at cold, hence 5W.

I just paid $8/Qt. for a dozen Mobil 1 ESP Formula 0W40

I know there are some good sources in the US that sell them for a good price.

Canada is a different story, however.

Rockauto has Mobil 1 0w40 ESP for $6.72/qt. I priced 12 qts and they charge $10 shipping. So $90 for 12qts delivered. Plus they seem to have the cheapest prices on filters by far, like the Wix PF63 equivalent (the XP version, too) for ~$6.50.

Do you think Jerry Haas could make a Gen 6 get down the track better?

You want the 0W-40 ESP Formula, which is DEXOS.

That's there I get my oil...

Here's the Ask Al question that explains this and still valid today.

I went to order the 5w-40 Motul 8100 X-Clean Dexos2 but discovered their are 2 versions of this oil. They sell the X-Clean Gen2 and the X-Clean C3 and both are Dexos2. The Gen2 is more expensive than the other and it was mentioned being developed for a BMW oil requiredment and turbocharged engines. Does anyone have some insight on this matter?

I feel like I'm missing a joke here or something. I'm not sure what you mean?

I assumed you would know that, like you, he is in St. Louis and is perhaps the most prominent NHRA Pro Stock car builder. I assumed wrong.

I bought a 2006 Pro Stock GTO from him.

I saw that there is a Gen2 as well. Similar price to the Gen1 at the store I visited.

Both meet Dexos 2 so you are fine with either.

Is there a UPC or part number to order the 5L M1 0W-40 ESP jugs from your attached picture in the US? I have only seen 1Qt bottles of it available here and 1L previously before they switched to 1Qt.

EDIT found it: 5055107438275

No US sellers that I can find though.

Thought I saw it on amazon where I bought 1Qt. bottles
