You don't have to use that oil. Any oil that is dexos certified is acceptable. That AC Delco dexos oil is only a synblend. Use Mobil 1.

Mobil 1 is dexos certified. You were better off with that. The AC Delco dexos they conned you into using is a syn-blend.

dexos is a cert not an oil. The 11's take an oil that is dexos certified. The AC Delco brand that is dexos certified is a semi-synthetic, but all other dexos certified oils are full synthetic.
