5W-30 GM dexos1 Gen3 for modern gasoline engines with LSPI protection, piston cleanliness and broad North American–Asian coverage.
5W-30 GM dexos1 Gen3 is a modern high-performance engine oil for current gasoline engines, where LSPI protection, engine cleanliness and resource efficiency are key. The product is designed for GM dexos1 Gen3, API SP RC and ILSAC GF-6A requirements, making it a strong fit for many North American and Asian gasoline engines.
Especially in modern turbocharged gasoline engines, protection against low-speed pre-ignition is a critical technical factor. Added to this are requirements for piston cleanliness, catalyst protection and stable performance over the service interval. This is exactly where this oil delivers.
For suitable gasoline engines, this is a contemporary 5W-30 solution with a clear focus on modern spark-ignition engine technology.
Suitable for modern gasoline engines where GM dexos1 Gen3, API SP RC, ILSAC GF-5/GF-6A or comparable approvals from GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda or Opel/Vauxhall are required. Not intended as a classic diesel or DPF-specific oil.
What are the benefits of dexos1 Gen3 compared to older 5W-30 oils?
Mainly improved LSPI protection, modern API SP performance and a stronger focus on current gasoline engine technology.
Is this oil intended for diesel engines?
No, it is clearly focused on modern gasoline engines.
Why is LSPI protection important?
Because modern turbocharged gasoline engines can be sensitive to unwanted pre-ignition at low speeds and high loads.
