As soon as the reflash 22 trucks show up with the higher towing ratings I’ll be sure to check out of the new diesel supplements and see if they mention the 5w30 spec

So who’s going to pay for it and make it public for all of us

Yep. I assumed it was their money grab at c5 but they haven’t released the official requirements to meet dexos D. The only Wierd thing I found is amsoil now sells 5w30 that “meets” dexos d Hths of 3.5

Yeah I just read his statement that said GM has an approved oil at this viscosity they aren’t marketing yet. As him referring to dexos D

Where have you seen they have a 5w30 dexos D? Just curious? I just wish we knew the requirements of dexos D.

M1 esp x2 0w20 508/509 approved and about 75ppm And 300 ppm boron

@sixinarow i welcome you to spend the next 3 weeks going through thick vs thin debates. Lol at the end of the day you have to decide for yourself whether you want to follow the manual or go on your own path. And even if I switched to esp 0w30 you bet **** well my receipt from my supplier still...

Hey so I’m about to my 5500 miles on esp x2 and I’ll be sending in another analysis. My truck has been worked about 50% of that. Hell the last trip to the in-laws we battled 20-30mph head winds and at 75 that’s basically like towing a trailer. It’s like clockwork. I use about .3-.5 in 5k. I’m...

I was waiting for one of these to show up here. Never fails. Thanks for your opinion

Don’t worry I will.

What truck is that? Looks totally different under the hood than mine.

Will do. You’ll love the engine. I have 2k more miles to do and I’ll sample and send it in. Frankly I may sample and not drain and wait for results. Another high iron and I’m going to run esp 5w30 or 0w30. Frankly I would go delo fa-4 5w30 or Castrol C3 but it’ll be easier to keep a proper...

My next UOA will go to Polaris or oil analyzers for a proper FD test. Will also see how the m1 esp 0w20 held up. But my next fill will be esp 5-30 granted I’m in mn and winter is almost here. It’s a garage baby in the winter and nearly never sits outside. I have a work beater for the salt ****...

Yep so if I don’t run Cenex roadmaster xl fuel then it’s a strict regimen of hotshots edt or archoil 6400. Occasionally powerservice as well. In mn we also run 20% bio so that’s cool. I have a very particular few stations I fill at and I always plan then best I can so i never get fuel at a...
