I want to see what you all think is the best for the mighty 6.2 chevy ?

Asks forum for opinion. Proceeds to tell everyone their opinion is wrong and only his is right. LOL

BTW new DEX OS oil is now DEX OS2 Mobil 1 is rated as this in the 5W30 and 0W20 weights I have purchased. For my Magnum with the 5.7 Hemi the 5W20 oil isn't DEX OS rated, but GM doesn't use that weight oil in any of their vehicles. Heard lots of stories of dropped lifters with people using 5W30 in the Hemi's instead of the recommended 5W20. 150K on my Hemi with Mobil 1 and still going strong.

My 6.2 I changed oil at 1000 miles and just changed again after almost 5300 miles. Using Mobil 1. First change was with extended protection and this change was extended fuel economy. Don't know what the real differences are or if they even matter when changing oil around 6K.

This is generally the purpose of many of these oil threads.

Yep, which is why i asked him why "we" dislike mobil 1. Seems more like "he" dislikes mobil 1.

Some GM vehicles have oil caps that say to use Mobil 1. In those scenarios the dealer is required to use that, unless the customer states they want another brand. Sounds like something similar may be happening with Pennzoil and Dodge. Either way, the only good oil is the one that works.
