I have a 2021 6.2 liter Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss. 35,000 miles
Will Mobil 1 full sinthetic 5W-30 be what I should use?
thanks

I was using Royal Purple's synthetic 0W-20, but I ended up switching to Mobil 1's Extended Performance full synthetic 0W-20 oil after doing some research. The Royal Purple was great lubrication, but my research led me to believe that Mobil 1's oil has better cold start lubrication. And I need that out here in Wyoming lol. I also use Mobil 1's Extended Performance oil filter, and I change both at 5,000 miles or five months. It should take eight quarts.I have a 2021 6.2 liter Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss. 35,000 miles

I use the same..Mobil 1 Extended Performance full synthetic, 0W-20, the weight that GM says to use. I’m of the similar mindset: oil is cheap, engines are expensive.I was using Royal Purple's synthetic 0W-20, but I ended up switching to Mobil 1's Extended Performance full synthetic 0W-20 oil after doing some research.

The dealerships here put 5w30 in the 6.2s and 5.3sSure, if you want to ruin your engine. Owners manual says to use 0w-20.
The dealerships might find themselves liable for damage engines. Read the owners manual.The dealerships here put 5w30 in the 6.2s and 5.3s
I'm aware of what it calls for. Surely there's a logical reason they aren't following the manual though.The dealerships might find themselves liable for damage engines. Read the owners manual.
Have you asked them? Perhaps it's not logical.I'm aware of what it calls for. Surely there's a logical reason they aren't following the manual though.
Because the motor has the same clearances as the 3.6L which calls for 5W30. A lot of these trucks up here are work trucks and they idle all day to stay warm in the cold during the winter out on site.Have you asked them? Perhaps it's not logical.
