Whether Mobil 1 is what comes in the cars now or not, it is one of the oils that specifically meets the dexos requirements and has proven to be very good oil. I use it and will continue to use it.

Hi Becky,

Gmconnects still shows my order at 3000. Can you check to see that the TPW is still 6/18 and they didn't slip it again.
