I just bought a 2011 Chevy Cruze with the 6 speed manual. It has castrol BOT 402 oil in the trans, a 75w85 weight. I never heard of the stuff before, and cant seem to find a lot of info on it. Just wondering if its good stuff and if there might be a better alternative out there for down the road...

Not that anyone cares, and I know we should probably get back on topic........ According to edmunds: "The Cruze is also a global machine — it was penned at the former Daewoo facility in Incheon, South Korea, while engineering was based at GM's European headquarters in Russelsheim, Germany...

Dont know if this has been posted yet, if it has I'm sorry. I recently sent an e-mail to Amsoil about the top tier oils (ASL, SSO) becoming dexos1 compliant. I got this response: "Daniel - AMSOIL INC. is in the process of reformulating our top-tier oils to meet Dexos 1, and API SN. This will...

Just got a reply from Pennzoil and they told me the same as M1. PP meets dexos 1 as it is, and the bottles with the dexos 1 license on them are on the way. So now I have a dilema, PP or M1?

I have the 1.8L with the 6 speed manual. Gets about 32 to 36MPG, not too bad. I contacted M1 and was told that the new bottles showing the dexos approval is in the works and will be out shortly, and the classic M1 5w30 meets the dexos requirement in its current state. So unless I see a bottle...

I went to walmart, two different advance autos, autozone, pepboys, and I cant find a single bottle of M1 or pp listing any mention of dexos on it. I am kind of hesitant to buy something with out that listed. Anyone know who should have it?

I saw Mobil 1 and PP are both now Dexos 1 Approved. I got rid of the Chevy Aveo aka Daewoo POS and bought a 2011 Cruze which requires the Dexos approved oil. I used Valvoline in the Aveo. Between the two major oils that are Dexos approved. Which would you pick? I want full syn and the best...

I recently flushed my 2007 Aveo with 98K miles at the time, using peak global instead of Dexcool aka deathcool. I heard its good stuff thats easy on the cooling system. Just thought I'd ask the experts. This is my second flush. Trying not to have any cooling system related problems before I...

Now that you've mentioned the clutches, is there any way to at least slow down the clutch wear if not by changing the fluid then by another method?

I have drain plugs in both. Change filter every 60k so the pan has only been dropped once.

I have a 2007 Aveo with 90K on it. I have changed the transmission fluid every 10K since new by drain/refill. Is there any such thing as changing it too often? The reason I ask is my father claims I will kill my trans cause the fluid contains inportant clutch material that I am getting rid of...

How is an exchange done?

Bought the truck for $800 in august. guy sold it cheap cause it was rear ended. fixed all that. so far I replaced the intake manifold gaskets, 4 oxygen sensors, a full tune up, royal purple in the diff. new antifreeze when I did the LIM. I also put MMO or lucas in every tank of gas. fuel pump...

Dont want to do a flush in a 140K Trans so doing the drain and refills will probably be easier on it. I plan to switch it over to Amsoil OIl, grease, and gear oil. It will be all amsoil when I'm done.

Yes I know "Why are you changing it again?" Piece of mind baby!

Drain refill. I changed the fluid when I first bought the truck back in august, and added a drain plug to the pan.

I bought a 98 Silverado with the 5.7 and 4l60E trans. The previous owner took great care of this thing. The trans shifts great and the fluid is clean. I ordered some Amsoil Universal ATF and plan to switch it over. Any problems with switching a 140K truck to Amsoil? I have records showing...

2007 AVEO 21K - AMSOIL ASL+EAO Filter, soon to be using SSO. 200K miles to go before retirement!
