GM FF, 13,961 miles, 11 Chevy Cruze

This was posted on another site I visit.

2011 Chevy Cruze 1.8 NA

The guy said he went down to 0% on the OLM. If this is the new dexos1 ACDelco Syn Blend. Then this is a uber great oil! It hardly used any of the add pack in 14,000 miles!

Here is the VOA I did on the ACDelco oil.

ACDelco dexos1 VOA

Looks like the guy either did a lot of highway driving, or Dexos1 ensures a decent oil.

Lot of guts to leave a FF in that long!

Looks like the old M1 SM formula.

I agree, lots of guts, but I'm sure his vehicle is ok. I don't believe in draining it ridiculously early, but I definitely wouldn't do this either!

if you dont care about your lease to the point of doing this, i doubt you'd invest in a UOA

The FF was in my E430 until the FSS (MB oil monitor) was -200 miles (passed 0 by 200 miles). I still have that car as of today, and engine is fine with 2 grades thinner syn oil, currently with XW20 instead of recommended M1 0W40.

couple things here;
why does the [censored] sheet list M1 5-30 as the oil ?
If it was Dexos-how did the Boron go from over 200 to 43?

 

[steve20]

the censored word was "bee sssss" meaning Blackstone sheet--jeez talk about being silly

 

[Finklejag]

The guy thought Mobil 1 5W-30 was the FF. I wouldn't think they would put Mobil 1 in the 1.8 Cruze, and ACDelco in the 1.4T?

Whatever oil it was. It did a good job and didn't use up any of the add pack.

I'm impressed - 14k on FF, and wear isn't that bad, and oil is still in grade. Wow.

 

[Artem]

x2. I'm also extremely impressed by this interval on the FF and the condition of the oil.

0% oil life @ 14k miles?!

GM sure is pushing it. Glad it's working out for them, at least with this engine.

Wow!

Boron seems to deplete with use.

And Dexos1 is essentially conventional oil, now that Pennzoil's joke synthetic blends have been approved for Dexos1.

What's with all the Pennzoil hate on this board?

Hate? This board loves Pennzoil! Try talking positive about Mobil 1 and see where it goes, LOL!

Here's another 1.8 UOA. This guy went only 6,475 miles and the viscosity is a 20 weight. The TBN is completly gone also.

Thats an incorrect assumption. The pack is "converted" and ineffective but still in suspension. Only burning will remove the ash. Wheres the TBN?
