GM Quietly Changes L87 0w40 Oil Guidance — What It Really Means

Описание: GM has quietly updated oil guidance for the 6.2L L87 V8, instructing dealers to transition away from Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 and move to Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 instead.

Same viscosity.
Same brand.
Different strategy.

In this video, I break down:
What GM actually changed
Why reimbursement policy matters more than marketing labels
How dexosR certification fits into this decision
Why this oil change alone is not the full story

And why the timing matters — especially as NHTSA reviews post-recall L87 failures

This is not a panic video, and it’s not speculation.
It’s a fact-based look at how GM is quietly adjusting its L87 recall strategy — and what owners should be watching closely.

🔧 KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR L87 OWNERS

Both Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 and Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 are dexosR approved

GM is ending reimbursement for Supercar oil and continuing reimbursement for FS

Not all 0W-40 oils meet dexosR — invoice accuracy matters

Oil choice alone does not determine recall adequacy
