Re: Dexos 2 Chart Posted by Gene N [Email] (#1094) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Gene N) on Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:38:41 In Reply to: Dexos 2 Chart, PSB, Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:06:10 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Apparently dexos 1 is for gasoline and dexos 2 is for diesel.
In the "About dexos" section it says:
- dexos1 is designed for use with gasoline engines and replaces GM-LL-A-025, GM6094M and GM4718M
- dexos2 is designed for use with light-duty diesel engines and replaces GM-LL-B-025 and GM-LL-A-025
The GM long life spec, GM-LL-A-025, is what was previously specified for SAAB engines.
Most of the dexos 1 oils are 5W-30 synthetic, some Group III and some Group IV. Seems like a step down, but maybe most GM owners were putting supermarket oil in their cars.
