You are supposed to inform the Oil Change Shop what kind of oil you want, as soon as you arrive.my 2017 Chevy impala calls for synthetic blend oil.

Well there was a coupon for conventional or full synthetic, but no part synthetic. We told them our make and model and told them we get synthetic blend and they charged us for the conventional.You are supposed to inform the Oil Change Shop what kind of oil you want, as soon as you arrive.
You are paying for the oil change. So the oil choice is yours, not theirs.
If you have 5W20 or 5W30 in it, there’s really no conventional any more, when the specification changed to SN a few years back those weights are pretty much all blend now. Still not good enough for an engine specified for (full synthetic) Dexos oil. I should be surprised, but some service centers are too focused on making profit.Well there was a coupon for conventional or full synthetic, but no part synthetic.

Google “GM 3.6 timing chain failures”-make sure you are sitting down. GM has been specifying Dexos 1 (now up to Gen. 3) since 2007 in gasoline engines (high performance or diesel can be Dexos 2), all of them are full synthetic. I have been filtering out sludge in the 2011 Chevrolet Express in my signature since I’ve had it, Hertz was too cheap to use the Dexos oil-and it doesn’t have the expensive, intricate timing chain design your double overhead cam 3.6 has (thank God)!The user manual says synthetic blend not full synthetic
It is the 3.6l
