I would go for a Dexos 2 oil, like Mobil 1. That was the requirement for my 2010 SS, while Dexos 1 is the standard for all the rest of the GM fleet.

Dexos 2 is more for GM diesel engines. There is a Dexos 1 Gen 2 specification though.

Dexos 2 is not the recommended oil for the 6th gen Camaro. And Mobil 1 comes in both dexos 1, 2, and...plain ole oil (non-licensed dexos).

Read the label, mobil one 5-30 full synthetic has the dexos on it. All corvette's with the exact same LT1 require mobil 1 only. Full synthetic is always better than a blend ...period

I use Mobil One full syn, it says Dexos1 right on the bottle.

Yes. As long as an oil has the little green "Dexos1" logo on it, that means GM has approved it for use in your car.

Blue label = Dexos2, primarily for diesel engines. However, in your manuals, you'll find a recommendation to run Dexos2-spec oils of 5W-40 weight for use while racing to withstand the higher temperatures of track-duty. |

True. Someone else mentioned Dexos2...just wanted to clarify what role that stuff plays in "Camaroland".

There was is no data that says Mobil 1 is better or worse then a semi synthetic.

also, I've only found the 5-quart jug at Wal-Mart; everywhere else the jug is 4-quarts. Notably, the 5-quart jug sells for the same price at Wal-Mart as the 4-quart jug does at O'Riley. |
