Choice for V-Sport 3.6 Twin Turbo...oil change

[4WD]

unless I change my mind, I will be using Mobil 1 EP 5W-30 and another AC Delco -R/Gold whatever they decide to call it this year filter...when I change the oil in the Spring...

I've noted no issues with using the Shell RGT on that last oil change but am now all out of my stash of that oil...

Thanks,

Bill

Got a six pack of the UPF63’s - they look like Mobil 1 filters all day long … (heavy like them too) …
Of course the PRV is set higher in the Albert Champion signature filter 😷 …
I might buy a single to see if they have changed …

I contacted Mobil over a year ago to ask why they no longer approved (at least from their wonky website recommendations) the Mobil 1 oil filter for my particular vehicle...they responded that they did not know why but would ask Mann+Hummel the maker of their filters and get back to me...they never did and my emails with the email exchange also went unanswered...

the recently looked at Mobil 1 filter at Walmart appeared to still have the orange-is silicone ADBV while the last AC Delco UPF-63R filter did not...I have been told on this site that the current AC Delco filters are still Champion Labs made but I don't know for sure...

I have a GM extended warranty and I prefer to stick with their recommendations when I can...

Motorcycle 10w40 SN

Of the above, the 0w40 looks the best imo. Back in the day, 0w40 Esso XD-3 was a big problem solver for me.

Have a look at the new 5w50 Supercar for the new corvette, Dexos R/SP

Filters have been discussed in the filter section, with the UPF63R being the winner. ??

Oops, wrong Cadillac thread.

interestingly to me anyway is that I see Mobil 1 M1-212A is again listed (at least by RockAuto.Com) as being a suitable filter while the AC Delco filters (neither the PF63 or the UPF-63R) are listed as a proper fit...RockAuto.Com still lists the UPF-63R for sale but does not list it for fit on the 2016 CTS V-Sport, ATS-V or the XTS V-Sport...

edited to add: I see ACD's website is now working for me and they still list the PF-63/UPF-63R as proper filters...I wonder why Rocka Auto has changed since they still sell both
