Mobil1 0W-30 Dexos1Gen3

[NVRudder]

Was at Walmart earlier today to grab another PF63 and some Mobil1 5W-30.
They were out of the oil...but had 0W-30 Dexos1Gen3 in stock.
Has anyone used this weight oil? Seems like a good summer option vs 0W-20.
Would be for my new '26 Tahoe w/ 5.3.

Any Group4 'fully synthetic' 0W30 or 5W30 that has a Dexos certification will suffice,
provided you also change oil sooner than the OLM suggests.

yes.. i read some oil shortages.. like pennzoil platinum made with gas.. the plant was hit in the iran police deal. i guess several others plants must be out too.

i would get enough for several changes. i have a closet full of penns platinum.. bummer...

If your gonna change it yourself, make sure to save receipts for any warranty proof. I would also take some video footage, showing the process and the vehicle and tags.

I do DIY changes and save the receipts and log them all on the penzoil website.

I haven’t taken pictures of the actual oil change. You heard of people being denied warranty with receipts/logs because the inside videotape the oil change?

If you go to a jiffy lube and you save their receipts for the oil changes they don’t provide GM with videos lol.

Jiffy Lube also has a letterhead on their paperwork and a data base that can be accessed from anywhere. The video suggestion is only because of the dealers looking for any way to deny a warranty claim.

From the day you buy a vehicle, unless you know 1000% for sure you will never sell it, always keep any parts and shop work receipts in a file for the vehicle. Keep them in chronological order and then if sell it, you can prove your claim of "well taken care of". That alone is worth $500 on the asking price, IMO.
