General Motors is introducing a new grade of
motor oil called “Dexos” because of the many
engine problems being created by substandard
motor oils that are being sold today. Unfortunately,
the motor oil industry has been cheating consumers
by selling motor oils that don’t meet the standards
listed on the label. The term “synthetic” is
meaningless and is nothing more than a ploy to
lure consumers into buying products that have no
corresponding benefits but only inflate oil company
profits. In order to meet GM’s Dexos standards, the
oil company will be licensed by GM and their motor
oils will be tested by GM and not by the oil company’s testing lab. The
GM “Dexos 1” approval will offer the type of quality expected of a true
synthetic oil offering both longer drain intervals and fuel efficiency combined
with high temperature and high sheer qualities to provide superior
engine protection. GM will start requiring Dexos 1 in gas engines and
Dexos 2 in diesel engines in the 2011 models.
