    Pennzoil Platinum vs Valvoline Advanced vs Castrol Edge vs Quaker State

    0w20 or 0w30 for Turbo Charged GDI Engines?

    Yet they will also install start/stop equipment or DOD/AFM systems which reduce reliability, increase manufacturings costs and increase warranty costs to help maintain CAFE/EPA compliance. My opinion is the recommended oil is a part of compliance, not what GM would ultimately recommend.

    0w20 or 0w30 for Turbo Charged GDI Engines?

    Love the dealership scare tactics to build service income. The service center is the cash cow of the operation afterall. Post #14 is the answer IMO.
