ZL1 oil

Hi everyone,



Tried on searching, but every time I try to search for specific keyword page just goes blank. I got ZLE, trying to find engine oil, every manual I found says 10q, but I know ZLE have aux coolers so I was expecting more. Also tried new oil Valvoline full synthetic 5w-30. Apparently rated as Dexos 1 gen 3. High performance says can try to use Valvoline SYNPOWER MST 5W-40. dealer I get oil from is half the cost of mobil 1 dexos 2.



I check dexos 2 authorized list and they are not on it?




Someone shed some light please.

I just commented on it last week.

I would make sure you stay with the newest Dexos rating for direct injection cars.
