and the worrying part:
Using engine oils other than authentic dexos™ licensed products could result in damage that is not covered under warranty.
so much for 'any old 5w-30 will do'...

Doesnt matter, its always the same thing. When the car is no longer under warranty you ll put whatever you want to. I dont know anyone who uses the orange Dex Cool anymore for a post-1996 GM car. They wind up getting whatever is on sale.

Just don't want to mix DexCool w/ ethylene glycol. I've heard it jells.

speaking of which I dont know anyone who uses 5w20 in NY. Most use 10w30 or 10w40 whatever is on sale. At $3/quart it is ALL the same in this climate.

I am starting to see a few more articles pop up about this...(Dexos1)
Seems the primary reason is to improve overall MPG...and before anyone blames GM for creating a new and expensive oil that has to be used, keep in mind that the government is creating the requirements not GM.
As I understand it M1 is also acceptable...

Damn GumVent all up in my $hit...
$3.60 / gas will force us all to drive matchbox cars anyway, we don't need fancy oil to assist the process...
