I have access to a wholesale oil distributor and they have provided me with 2 choices for Dexos1 gen2 approved oils: Service Pro and Kendall GT-1.
The price difference between the two is about $1/qt; Kendall is $1/qt (40%) more than the ServicePro.
Since both products are licensed by GM for the Dexos1 gen2 specification, I would expect both products to be equally capable of long(er) drains (7500-10K miles). To date, I have not had a customer request a specific brand of engine oil. Kendall does not appear to be a top-tier brand, so I am not sure if spending the extra 40% is justified.
What do you guys think?
