All but the 10w30 are Dexos 1 oils, so be definition, they're good oils.
If you're using the 10w30, check for the API Starburst and the SM or SN rating. Or, if it is self-certified ('meets or exceeds'). You can check previous threads or UOA's. (In other words, I'm not going to do that for you).

Don't put ANY stock in that. They could put 1 drop in their racers 1 race per year, and they are "using it".
Thanks, HF. I'll be using the 5w-30, which has the Dexos label. Seems to be a decent oil, so, we'll see. If GM says it's OK, then, I'm OK. And no, I don't put a lot of stock in celebrities that use it. Just figure if it's being used in high horsepower engines, then it's not going to mess up something with only 242 HP.
