    That was clarified to me by the AVP for sevice and aftersales of Chevy Phils. Irregardless of what diesel fuel we are using, we should still follow the PMS schedule as stated on the manual, depending on what oil the dealer puts on our Trailblazers during PMS.

    There are many good motor oil out there but since Dexos is the patronize brand of Chevy for our Trail[B], no choice but to comply without putting the warranty
    in the gray area.When my strada is still inder warranty, I religiously followed their recommended full synthetic oil, as soon as Im freed from the bondage I switched to OWS brand which I found has more positive result when it comes to engine performance, same time I changed my air filter to Hurricane.

    Just a clarification. dexos2 IS NOT an oil brand. It is an oil specification made and formulated by GM Powertrain. GM Powertrain also made all engines under the GM brands (Chevrolet, Holden, Opel) only to received fully synthetic oils that meet the dexos2 specification in order to have a LONGER Oil Change Interval. Oil brands have formulated engine oils that meet the dexos2 specification but only Ac Delco has the dexos2 compliant oil locally and is only available in all Chevy dealers.

    There are many brands of oil in the market that can meet the API CJ-4 or CI-4 15W40 requirement specified in the manual. Even if we change oil every 4 months or 5000KM it will still be cheaper and will satisfy warranty requirement.

    Nakatipid nga pero the downside of that would be reduced performance and lower fuel efficiency as stated in the manual.

    Unless somebody could show a performance graph vis a vis DEXOS2 oil and CJ-4 then it would be conclusive that there will be.. my own view you wouldn't feel it. performance and fuel effiency wise. Theoretically a thinner Dexos2 will have an advantage via a 15W40 CJ-4 oil but it is negligble to any average Juan driver. Driving style have much more effect on fuel effiency.

    Yong mahilig humataw, mas makakaprotect sa engine ang higher viscosity band. The lower viscosity band is good for cool climate specially for starting the engine. Sa atin even in Baguio the temperature rarely go below 10 deg C. The W in the oil designation is winter grade, wala naman winter sa atin. But according to each one's objective and driving condition, we can select an oil that satisfies the manufacturer's requirement.
