Examples of low ash percentage oils .5 to .8 Mobile 1/ ESP, diesels stuff lie SAPS less than 1.0% is medium ASH greater than 1.0% is high ASH The best protection would be a good catch can system and the highest TBN number around.. GO to the DEXOS page I saw no listing for AMSOIL which people swear by, Red line, and other well know proven oils. I did see Royal Purple which a lot won't use anymore.. So they either won't pay to be on the DEXOS 2 list or it won't pass because not being low ash. as far as the weight change it's a happy medium between street and race for protection and will cut down on oil consumption.. And if oil is being consumed the low ash will not hurt the emissions system as much! Nothing new I sit through the boring diesel classes with the manufactures to be certified ever year with all the new tier 4 emissions compliant crap stuff low ash oils nothing new so its easier to clean with the onboard regen systems!

What is the dexos II specific?
(Except for our warranty....) 0w40 Europ doesn’t look bad? Last edited by Biscuit.fr; 07-11-2018 at 04:32 AM. |

I'm a tier level Cat certified tech myself. As you know, DI will take a massive toll on intake valves and guides, varnish intercoolers and aftercoolers and greatly reduce performance and an engines ability to eliminate heat. Then inevitably, the coking of the intake valves and their guides will float a valve and bounce it around the combustion chamber. After seeing it first hand over the last 25+ years, I/we understand that especially in a forced induction (turbo and blower) application, the great importance of reduced oil volatility in controlling the effects of DI. As well as the the positive effect that Walker Airsep (diesel catch can) had in DDI applications cleaning up the red headed stepchild of direct injection. I won't even mention the effect that a direct blow by vent (prior to the Walker) had in fouling up an engine room. IMHO, those of you who are not running a catch can with GDI/PCV are taking a HUGE risk of reducing performance levels and eventually a significant failure. That is without costly media blasting of your I valves and potentially valve guide replacement every 40-50K miles. You are probably thinking that if it was that important than GM would have made it OEM. That is what Cat and Detroit and Cummins thought as well years ago. Until their warranty costs skyrocketed and MARPOL regs/EPA emissions regs kicked in. Then they had no choice. Fair discloser, GM did a great job on the clean side of the LT4. Draining a catch can takes a couple of minutes. However the bean counters and lawyers at corporate understand that if you forget to drain the CC, your LT4 is in a world of sh*t, and then they are on the hook. I believe that they understand that it's not worth the cost and risk to extend motor longevity at the risk of someone who doesn't understand the importance of changing their oil, let alone blowing a motor because they forgot to drain their CC and sucked all of that nasty byproduct into their intake. They understand that coking and varnishing will not kick in a big way until well after 3/36,000 has expired. FI with GDI? Do yourself a favor and get a CC (that doesn't defeat the PCV) and run a high quality low volatility (low ash as EDFHOBBIES pointed out) full synthetic. It will make your cats happy too. Dexos 2 oils are from what I understand, well engineered, low volatility products.

Dealers are all over the place on the ESP 0W-40 Oil
I went for the 500 mile oil change and the dealer looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for the new oil. He said that it was for 2019 Corvettes. He opened my hood and pointed to the oil filler cap (I ordered a new cap today).
I tried to explain but the service tech was not having any of it. I went to the parts department and they said that they did not have any in stock. Is there a TSB # on this change? |

As I plan to keep my ZL1 for a very long time, I will be installing a catch can... But only AFTER my warranty has expired. I don't want to give the jackholes at the stealership ANY reason to void my warranty.
