For those of us using the Amsoil dexosD oil.  How do you like it?

 

Has anyone done any UOA?

 

Difference in performance or MPG?

 

How does it sound? Any difference in engine clatter?

 

Lastly, what’s the oil consumption rate if any?

Put Amsoil in this last oil change, so far really haven't notice a difference on mpg or loss of oil from what I've had in it before which was Mobile1 from factory fill. Not too worried other than a good option. Used several other Amsoil products in several vehicles and toys I've had so know how it works. Buddy of mine works at GM at the proven grounds doing testing and its all he uses and sells, so I'm good with it.

ACDelco DexosD is the factory fill, not Mobil 1.  Just for clarifying.

Is there a real material difference between the two?  Honest question, I have no idea.

 

Just to clarify, not wanting a debate on the different oils.  Just wanted to know ACDelco vs the Mobil1 used at the dealer.  I'm good with a yes or no.

 

UPDATE:  Please ignore this post/question. I was mistaken.

Dealer does not use Mobil one for the DexosD (mini diesel). they only have ACDelco DexosD. 

 

I'm not sure but i am following

Sorry, my mistake.  Didn't realize we are talking about diesel and not gasser.   I will delete my question post if I can.

Diesel vs gas yes.  Boils mostly down to emissions system protection so low sulfated ash content.  Gas oils however are heading down this route as well.  Both gas and diesel oils, especially the latest gas engine oils are designed for turbo deposit control and DI fuel contamination.  

 

As far as gas oil ACDelco Dexos dealer vs Mobil 1, there are probably slight variations in the additive packages.

One of the gotcha's is that these days there are MANY versions of Mobil1. (not just viscosity differences)

Makes it easy to select the wrong Mobile1 product.

 

Otoh, my dealer is telling me that Mobile is the current supplier of the ACDelco oils -- but I have no idea how they know that.

 

I do know that at least some lubricants get packaged with labels from more than one brand.

The GM dealer oil pricing sheet.  It has GM  part#s and it also has ExxonMobil part#s on the list. 

 

They (Exxon Mobil) supply the bulk products, bottled Dexos blend (5w20, 5w30, 10w30) and full synthetic (0w20, 5w30), Mobil 1 products, Mobil 1 ESP for the LT1/LT4/LT5/LTA, Delvac 15w40 for diesels, 8 speed LV ATF HP, Dexron VI and some others.

Yes correct I just worded it goofy when I stated "from factory fill". I ran the factory stuff and changed it @ 4400 miles and went to the Mobile1  for the next 2 changes until this last one when I switch to Amsoil @ 16000 miles. Put on 4000 since then. Don't really expect to see much different results between the two unless I send it in for testing, which I didn't do previous to compare. Not too worried with either other than its such a light oil, even my buddy isn't real comfortable with it.

Well I don’t believe AC Delco DexosD is the same as Mobil ESP x2 (their approved DexosD). Mobil 1 may supply AC Delco but they are selling something different for themselves.

 

Not that this has anything to do with The OPs request for info on Amsoil. Sorry for the hijack.

The Mobil on the DexosD license chart is not a Mobil 1 product line.  Its Mobil Super 3000 XE2.  This is the same oil as ACDelco DexosD.

Mobil Super™ 3000 XE2 0W-20

 

Website must be out of date as the ESP X2 is a DexosD licensed oil on Mobil's site.

It’s been covered before but I believe Super 3000 is only sold in Canada.

 

ESP x2 is green in color and smells completely different from AC Delco DexosD. It’s not the “same”. I don’t know about Super 3000 because it’s not sold in the US

And here I thought I was the only one that smells engine oil.  :lol:

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
