Did anyone catch the recent Click and Clack where a gentlemen indicated that his Solstice recommended 5w-20? I thought GM was still recommending 5w-30?

As far as i know GM is 5w30 for primary vis. ,always have been.
Drew99GT,
I've seen advertisments in the car magazines about using Mobil 1's version of 5W-20 weights saving gasoline annualy. Now I seen M1 "green cap" 0W-30 indicating as a replacment for all oils in the 5W catagory going up to 30W.
To my knowledge GM has not indicated anything about allowing such oils to be a replacement for the old 5W-20 through 5W-30.
I wish I could try/use a 5W-20 in my 08' Impala SS but the dealership doesn't have it in synthetic to try it. Perhaps my engine wasn't designed to use a 5W-20 overall it's best to stay with the 30.

He's mistaken. The recommendation for our '09 normally aspirated solstice is 5w-30, GM 6094M. Same for the other '08 and '09 GM cars in our fleet.

Those guys are more comedians than real car guys. They are rarely right about anything, its funny also.

"Click and Clack"
Bwwaaaah HaHa.

Useful for entertainment value only.
Rickey.
