I searched it. I understand Dexos. But they (the dealer) keep telling me its a "SYNTHETIC EQUIVELANT" It's synthetic, a blend or conventional.

Unfortunately, no other dealers close to me. And I already paid for 3 oil changes and rotates. Guess I'll have to ask for refund. I usually do it myself anyways. And yes, its important to me to know what goes in my engine. I keep cars for a very long time. I have a 05 and a 08 in the...

Thats what I'm thinking. Probably a blend. I don't understand why they just can't be honest and say what it really is. This is what gives dealerships a bad name.

I just never heard of a "synthetic equivalent". Makes no sense to me. It either is or isn't. I emailed the service manager, so we will see what he has to say. Shouldn't be that hard...

I asked 3 times. Thats the answer they keep giving me. I'll call back and ask to speak to the service manager I guess...just never heard of an "equivalent" before.

I believe it would be the AC Delco brand? Its at a GM dealer. When I questioned the "synthetic equivalent" she just kept repeating that it was a synthetic equivalent... very frustrating

So, I have a question. My local Chevy Dealer says they use Dexos Synthetic equivilent for their oil changes. What does that even mean? Its either synthetic, synthetic blend or conventional, correct? Can anyone shed light on what this is?
