Re: Which Mobil 1 to use Posted by Gene N [Email] (#1094) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Gene N) on Thu, 29 Mar 2012 05:46:22 In Reply to: Which Mobil 1 to use, PSB, Thu, 29 Mar 2012 04:12:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
As part of GM's parting gesture to SAAB owners (raised middle finger), they specified dexos 1 motor for the 2011 engine. The newly labeled Mobil 1 5W-30 has the dexos 1 sticker while the 0W-40 does not. My guess is that Mobol didn't change a sigle thing in the 5W-30 blend to meet the dexos1 requirement.
It's not like you have a warranty to worry about now, so I would use the superior 0W-40 Mobil 1 that was originally specified for that engine. This really seems a lot like the Old GM to me, where they put up arbitrary hurdles to weasel out repearing defects under warranty.
