🦇 Is Mobil 1 5W20 Dexos Approved
Please note: GM dexos 1 Gen 3 engine oils exceed the performance of GM dexos 1 Gen 2 engine oils and are backward compatible, therefore vehicles that previously used GM dexos 1 or GM dexos 1 Gen 2 will use a GM dexos 1 Gen 3 or GM dexos R licensed engine oil of the appropriate viscosity grade at their next oil change.
General Motors recommends the use of dexos™ approved engine oils for global factory and service fill in spark ignited and diesel engines. Importantly, the number of brands with dexos approved licenses varies over time. The list of Licensed dexos® brands is updated quarterly, with the most recent update on December 16, 2020.
I have been using Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w-20 oil since I got the car in 2015 since it was Dexos -1 certified. I no longer see the Dexos-1 license on the bottles of this oil and Mobil 1's website no longer shows 5w-20 as certified Dexos-1 though 0w-20 and 5w-30 remain certified.
Is Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic Dexos approved? For drivers of diesel vehicles, Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W-20 provides the reassurance that it carries the dexosD approval for diesel engines. This unique specification has been developed by General Motors (GM) exclusively for their own diesel engines.
In short, the answer is yes. Multiple oils can meet dexos specifications but follow specific instructions. If you own a used car that is new to you, it will be better to change your oil to the brand you prefer. Then you have to change your oil again in 500 to 1000 miles.
Why Mobil1 high mileage oils are not dexos certified? mahanddeem Nov 10, 2020 M mahanddeem Joined Oct 27, 2018 Messages 700 Location MD Nov 10, 2020 #1 I noticed M1 5w30 HM and M1 5w30 EP HM do not have the dexos stamp on them. Educate me to why is that please. Thanks Bryanccfshr Joined Oct 9, 2004 Messages 6,593 Location New Braunfels Nov 10, 2020
