Hello,

Getting close to 2nd oil change on my 2020 Sierra 3.0L Duramax.  To make certain I purchase the correct oil, I've included a link below.  The best I can determine its the Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W-20 which has the DexosD rating.  Other than the AC Delco DexosD, can others confirm that this is the correct oil for the 3.0 L Duramax?  It appears at this point the local auto parts stores do not stock the Mobil 1 ESP OW-20 as of yet.

The link below gives the product description.  Thanks - J Tab

This is my plan: 

https://dmaxstore.com/products/?route=product/product&path=2290_2493_3396&product_id=6490

 

Sounds like the plan if shipping is reasonable.  Comparing prices on Amazon and Ebay, that deal is hard to beat.  Mobil 1 ESP will have to wait.

The local Advance Auto has the gall to sell Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 for $12.99 a quart.  They can't even get the ESP (DexosD) 0W-20.

Thanks - J Tab

The minimum shipping charge to my address from the Dmax Store is $26.00 for the 7 quarts + filter.  Not a good buy.  Better off going to the dealer.  Tough to find Wal Mart prices on this oil.

Damn, that's double what they want to ship to me. Maybe they will do a quantity discount if you purchase more than one kit, to make the the shipping costs worth it. Also similar kits can be found on Ebay and Amazon. If you put enough miles on your truck, the dealership should offer some oil change packages where you pay ahead for a number of oil changes for a discount. Hopefully someday the Mobil1 DexosD 0w20 will be at Walmart ?

 

Free shipping $80:

Hey, another source that is now available is AMSOIL.  They have the 0w-20 oil for the new 3.0 diesel.

 

If interested let me know and send me a PM with an address and I can quote you a price for how much you want delivered to your door.

Must of just of came out with it, I emailed Amsoil back in October and said they didn't anything for the GM 3.0l and didn't know when they would.

 

Good to see another source

Is it licensed and DexosD labelled or  'amsoil tested' and claiming equivalence?

The only ones that are on the GM approved list are the AC Delco and the Mobil Super 3000 XE2. 

 

AMSOIL's 0w-20 meets/exceeds the dexosD specification.  It is very expensive  to license per the manufacture.

DexosD is a license, not a specification!  The license is a revenue stream for GM.

I'm sure the Amsoil guys can back this up...

 

"Dexos" is a license and the family of GM Oil Specifications.  The goal for all oil manufacturers is to meet and or exceed the Dexos spec.  I've never used Amsoil, but I've come to understand that they are more of the "exceed" rather than the "meet" of the Dexos specification.  And some independent testing seems to come back highly in favor of their products when it comes to the VOA and the examination of their additive packages over the big players. 

 

Most of the big brand names will 99% "meet" the Dexos spec to be a licensed oil, but there is no guarantee they exceed it.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
