Good afternoon.
GM always recommended only dexos2.
Now, GM sharply changed the recommendations - with a small volume and the turbine it is necessary to pour into engines only dexos1 gen2.
We have this information not official, people found this information from forums and other, not official sources. Though if to call to "the hot line" of GM, then, the employee (which not specialist) will answer that yes, it is necessary to use GM 5w30 dexos1 gen2.
I have opel with the A14NET engine (the turbine, 1,4 l., gasoline) 2012 with a run more than 90 thousand km. And almost all years dexos2 oil was used.
Who does not "follow" the oil and does not read the forums - they use dexos2 and do not think about anything else, the official dealers also pour dexos2.
In our market from dexos1 gen2 there aren't enough offers — GM (very high price), wolf, and. it is more not.
There are others but they have no license or not to find.
According to characteristics, Mobil1 x1 5w30 gen1 completely there corresponds Mobil1 x1 5w30 gen2 (but mobil dexos1 gen2 not license in the Russian Federation).
My question:
For example at shell helix HX8 professional AG 5w-30, viscosity at 100 гр = 11,6 (!)
(is lower in the picture), it isn't similar to ILSAC GF-5 and A5, but at the same time it exists and dexos1 gen2.
At Mobil 1 of x1 5w30 dexos1 honor parameters same though ILSAC GF-5, dexos1.
Wolf VITALTECH 5w-30 D1 (SN-RC, GF-5, dexos1 gen2 very liquid. (!)
I think that for this engine to use "liquid" oils not really well, especially in the summer (+30 degrees). My experience says that after 3000 turns the motor begins "to ring" on such oils (I used old dexos1, at Kinematic viscosity at 100 °C mm ²/s ~ 10).
Here also I think that it is better for my turbine and the motor? (if not to pay attention to marketing)
oils from the A3 (C2/C3) group, or, A1 (ILSAC GF-5)?
I noticed, on small engine speed everything is good and silent, And at a high speed - the engine works rigidly (loudly) and more loudly (at Mobil1 x1 5w30).
For summer, big run on the route at a high speed — what you would advise?
And about this dexos1 gen2 — isn't clear. In Europe one offer (dexos2) and Mobil there not offers nothing, in the Russian Federation - dexos1 gen1. In my book of 2012 — only dexos2.
That it is better:
HTHS >=3.5 (as in dexos2)
or
HTHS ~ 3.1 (as in dexos1)
?
PS: Perhaps, I not really clear wrote, my English bad.
This oil:Shell Helix HX8 Professional AG 5W-30
API: SN
ILSAC GF-5
dexos1 gen2
What kind of engine oil are you pouring into this engine (A14NET) and how often do you change it? I mean owners in other countries.
