Here are two reports for my 2014 Diesel Cruze. The first is with RLI's HD low ash 5w-30 the second is with AC Delco dexos2 5w-30. The AC Delco saw a 1000 mile trip where as the RLI has been all local driving. Both with AC Delco oil filters. Fuel add is AMSOIL Cetane boost and FPP 3oz each per tank fill up. Running mostly Sheets diesel that states 40 cetane on the pump with a few Murphy's diesel which has a B20 blend. Been averaging 46.8mpg. Love this little thing.

No, not a typo.
 
About the same numbers I got with my 2014 Cruze Diesel. My MPG isn't as high though mostly city and shorter trips 33mpg average.
 
Is that the latest diesel engine already?

Same block as the one in my car.

Lots of phosphorous for a low ash oil? What does RLI stand for?

It's a CJ-4 oil, 1% ash maximum.

RLI is Renewable Lubricants Inc.
