They need the Dexos rating because the new 2014 Silverado 1/2 ton specs 0w20 oil. According to my friend that works at GM, more models are going to be spec'd 0w20 in the near future.

RE: The new 2014 GM trucks - "Oil capacity has been increased to six quarts for the 4.3L V-6 and eight quarts for the V-8 engines.

All engines use GM’s Dexos oil for increased fuel efficiency and longer oil life, and V-8s are engineered to use 0W/20 oil to improve lubrication and reduce friction."

For some reason the V6 still takes 5W-30 I think.

The Chrysler spec may not be met by XM for political reasons after Fiat bought Chrysler, dumped M1 and went with Shell. However M1 will easily meet the spec. In fact many Chrysler dealers still carry M1 as many customers still ask for it.

However, this shows that XOM committed to being first-to-market and being committed to blending oils that will meet the needs of the most advanced powertrains on the market. This shows that the company wants to maintain its presence as an industry leader. Very few companies are first-to-market when it comes to products that meet the needs of the newest vehicles. XOM deserves respect for this alone.
 
The 0w-20 product data sheet states it was updated on the 6-2013 does't mention it is Dexos1 approved. Neither is the 0w-30 Dexos1 approved.

Reading the product data sheet Mobil 1 5w-20 Extended Performance is Dexos1 approved.

You are correct. Obviously they haven't changed that page.

this is what is on Mobil 1 site about this.

Question:
Mobil 1 5W-20 and Chrysler MS-6395
Why is your Mobil 1 5W-20 not Chrysler MS-6395 spec approved? Or if it is, why is the certification not on the bottle or website?
-- Josh Eads, Cabot, AR
Answer:
Chrysler’s latest revision to the MS-6395 specification calls for a field trial spanning multiple seasons over two years. While we fully expect the exceptional performance of Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil to meet Chrysler’s specification requirements, at this time we are in the process of evaluating our timeline to start this testing

I have seen this before. The test involves a 2 year testing period which is silly IMO. How can oil producers fulfil all the testing the differant engine builders require when they change requirements so often.
