I have a 2015 Silverado with the 6.2. Owner's manual calls for 0w-20. For the first time instead of the truck motors being based off the corvette(or vice versa) the 6.2 in the truck is identical to the long block the C7 corvette. The corvette owners manual says to run 5w-30 for normal use or for track use run 15w-50.
Now for the kicker, my truck is supercharged and puts around 500 horsepower to the wheels. I'm trying to settle on an oil since my motor is under a lot more stress than the typical truck motor.
Since I live in the northeast, and my truck is a DD, it will regularly see cold starts below freezing in the winter.
I'm leaning towards using mobile 1 0w-30(though it's not dexos approved). Will this be a good compromise for cold weather starting , yet better protection when I regularly exercise all the horses.
I've looked up the oil specs on four different mobile 1 oils below, but I don't quite understand them enough. Could someone educate me or tell me if I'm on the right track in selecting 0w-30?
