[nicholas]

The Canadian version of Walmart syn has had this spec for a while now - 2-3 years ???? strange

I dont know if thats a fake list posted above, but this linked list is current from the GM corporate site TODAY. NO 5w-20; NO WPP. http://www.gm.com/corporate/responsibility/environment/maintenance/gm_approved_engine_oils.pdf

QUALIFIER: Not saying GM doc control is up to date either - this list was in a weird place for a maintenance doc. I'm ready to pull their ISO9001-2000 certification if you have a link to a current revision. There is no appropriate header on this list either. Shabby.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread I have googled tons w/o getting this May 2009 revision. Sept/Oct 2008 is the latest I have seen.

What is embarassing about having your list in alphabetical order?

This is the same jpeg as given earlier in this thread. Is there a web url also listing the complete set of GM approved oils for May 2009 i.e including 6094M?

Embarrassing for me! I didn't know that Supertech goes by the name of WFS; learned something today.

I just listed the link to GM corporate a couple of posts earlier. This is the only "REAL" document I've found. Wouldnt trust one un;les its a link thru GM. these things are "editable".

Mobil 1 0W-20 on the GM4718M list?! I never thought I'd see that!

Heard it was a great oil and group 4...

and do we know if this the "old" 0w-20 formula or the AFE 0w-20?

 

[buster]

I'd love to see someone run Mobil 1 0w-20 in a Vette and post a UOA. Patman?

 

[ARCOgraphite]

Hey I'm not sure this list is valid. 0w-20 HA. Wait for a corporate link.

 

[buster]

Yeah I think it's a typo personally.

^ No such bottle in this area. As I said earlier in this thread, all new funny shaped bottles, SL grade. ST Syn (silver), SM (WPP), I haven't looked/found new ST 5w20, but I would bet that will have to be SM. Since I don't have GM vehicle, I don't search to see if it's GM spec.

That was the first one of its kind I've seen. I went to 3 Walmart stores tonight, and only one of them had that oil.

About a week ago, I saw the old bottle and new bottle sitting side-by-side in a WM store. I would have thought that they would sell their old inventory first and then display the new bottle, but it wasn't so.
