I looked in my vehicle owner's manual, and for the type of oil that is recommended is ACDelco Synthetic Blend, Dexos 1, 5w-30
I was thinking of keeping that type of oil going, at least while under warranty.
Slight problem though. That oil is very hard to find. No one sells it locally, and it seems the only places I can get it, is from ebay or summit racing.
That seems kind of odd that an oil that is recommended, is hard to come by.
So, I have a feeling most of us car owners do NOT use this ACDelco oil. would I be right with that assumption?
I'll just select another brand and keep it consistent from here on out.
As we can see from the lists of Dexos approved lubricants; there are many choices, and there's no reason not to use an approved oil in your late model GM vehicle.
I don't know what it costs at the dealer but you can always get the AC Delco oil from any GM dealer. I found it sold locally at an autoparts store here (Benson Autoparts) and is what I use, but 0W20 for the 1.5T.
I have used Castrol synthetic 5-30 with no issues. I have 55,000 miles.
