New ZO6 needs Delvac 5W-50 oil

[ZeeOSix]

I see the article mentions dexos R ... so how does dexos R differ from dexos1 or dexos2?

Specs aren't that great compared to M1 5w50. Do we even need a low saps 5w50? No engine is going to burn that thick of an oil enough to poison a catalyst.

Well the Ferrari 812 typically appears to consume about a quart of 5W-40 every 300 mi so I wouldn't say that's always true.

Time for 15w-50 or 10w-60 then.

Sure … Dexos R

Robot or human?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Dexos R is identical to Dexos 2 but with a different viscosity.

GM has finally realized that a high rpm engine needs a dry sump system.

GM has been installing dry sumps in the Z06 since the 2006 model year.
