    What exactly is Dexos?

    I’m confused, you’re having problems purchasing a d1G3 licensed oil? Either you're not paying attention to my post, or you're picking up something from someone else. I specifically stated (again) I am trying to find someone, anyone who sells this SPECIFIC branded ACDELCO OIL GENERATION 3, NOT...

    What exactly is Dexos?

    You're surprised! Welcome to the club. Now, I did get one dealer that said to me... quote .."we don't sell the quarts or the larger container, because we buy it in bulk." Really? I also found out, like Bill stated, this stuff has been out for some time. So far, I've found dealer after dealer...

    What exactly is Dexos?

    Why does General Motors specify a motor oil that does not exist. My 2023 Equinox LT owner's manual specifically states a motor oil "DEX 01 0 20W GENERATION 3. My dealer gave me the part unmember for that - 19432331. So, I've called every Chevy dealership within a 50-mile radius, and scouted...

    DEX OS 0 20w question

    ARCOgraphite Going under the car and popping a plug is no problem, other stuff gets a wrenchhead. As far as car ownership, I've driven Fords. This is my first GM. I had a 2012 Ford Tauras SEL before, and I loved it. Strong acceleration, amazing comfort for a ride, and built solid. I had 137,000...

    DEX OS 0 20w question

    I meant to add, the driver has options for seat and steering wheel placement. These features make sitting and steering on long trips very comfortable. Add cruise control to this, and being relaxed, and alter, is a good combination behind the wheel. In the city, the responsiveness and...

    DEX OS 0 20w question

    My wife and I are retired, and we'll be 80 in two more years. So, we wanted our purchase this time around to be our last car. We wanted something that would fit our age, our eyesight, and our reaction time to driving conditions here in Western Massachusetts. Since we get all four seasons, snow...

    DEX OS 0 20w question

    Wonders never cease around here. As I was posting away with my last post when the salesman who sold us the car, called and asked if I was going to be home. He found an owner's manual for me. That and a few other minor things had to be addressed. On the page addressing oil... it says 3dexos 1 0...

    DEX OS 0 20w question

    Thanks for the replies. So, I should be looking for simply DEXOS 1 0 20W. The generation thing, 1, 2, 3 is not something that I should be concerned with. Thanks again.

    DEX OS 0 20w question

    I have a 2023 Equinox LT and the cap on the oil fill says DEX OS 0 20w So I'm looking around for said oil, and I find this so far: DEX OS 1 then there's DEX OS 2. Then there's first generation, second generation and so forth. Ok, I have a 2023 Equinox LT. What kind of oil do I put in this thing...
