Conventional doesn't meet Dexos.

May not need it depending how old the Trailblazer is.

Not to nit pick but are you sure that engine is a V?

Yup, no need for dexos.
Ahhhh.... The days when VWB was the most vilified oil on BiTOG. Must have been some magic in those silver bottles.
Just goes to show we are not immune to Lemming Syndrome.

Used VWB 5W30 with an OCI of every 3K miles / 3 months in a new 1993 Dodge Grand Caravan V-6 ... What a sludge monster that thing became (probably the vehicle engine design and not the oil) !

This NAPA conventional looks like good stuff and cheap cheap when on sale. Once my Full synthetic stash runs out, I may use that in the Santa Fe every 5K. She will have well over 200K by then and my youngest son will be driving it (he starts his sophomore year in high school this Fall.)
