So in other words, Castrol Edge will work fine in these motors and likely outperforms standard Mobil 1 (with it's big dexos2 mark-up most people blindly pay for) |

I just received 11qts today from Walmart. Nobody local had it. I paid $13.85 a qt with free shipping. Speedways price is great if they don't gouge you on shipping.

13.85 for a quart of synthetic oil is highway robbery. Crazy. All for a stupid dexos2 label.

If your not racing, the owners manual says you can run 5w-30 dexos1 Gen 2 what I have been running since I got my car, no issues, even racing, in my mind I know 5-30 would work fine, unless you doing the 24 hours of Daytona.

The Dexos II label is only needed for the track. Any Dexos I certified oil will work on the street. Another substitute is the 5/40W Motul 8100 XClean.

I’m with you on that. Being able to do routine tasks like fluids and brakes without lying on the ground in a pool of sweat, or breaking my back on my knees makes a huge difference. I find it almost therapeutic in these strange times....

Kind of funny. I asked my service manager friend where I service mine about this oil craziness. I told him I ran the Valvoline MST 5/40 all the time, track and street, for almost 45000 miles with no issues. My 2020 doesn't mention 5/40 dexos 2 anywhere, like ya'll know, it's 0/40 dexos 2 (Mobil1 ESP) or 15w-50 (no dexos rating stated) for racing. 5w-30 dexos 1 is acceptable for street use. I said if I can run 0-40 or 15-50, why can't I run 5/40 dexos 2? He called a Chevy "engineer" who told him to tell me to stick to the owner's manual recommendations as they changed the oiling system in 2019.
