5W-30 GM Dexos 1 Gen. 3

5W-30 GM Dexos 1 Gen. 3 is a passenger car engine oil in the Passenger car engine oils category. It is intended for modern petrol, diesel and hybrid engines with manufacturer-specific oil requirements when the technical requirement matches the data sheet and the vehicle, machine or equipment documentation. The visible grade/profile is 5W-30.

The decisive point is not the product name alone, but the full requirement profile: OEM approval, ACEA/API class, SAE viscosity, low-SAPS requirement, engine generation and driving profile. This localized page therefore keeps the same technical basis as the German shop entry and explains the product in English without shortening the selection notes.

Before ordering, compare the required approval, standard or viscosity with the product data, the PDF documents and the manufacturer's instructions. This is especially important when products have similar SAE, ISO, DOT or ATF labels but different additive packages or approval profiles.

Applications

Use 5W-30 GM Dexos 1 Gen. 3 only for applications where the required specification matches. In practice this means checking the vehicle manual, service plan, machine documentation or workshop instruction before using the product for filling, topping up or conversion.
