7 Qts. Mobil-1 5W-30 Standard Full Synthetic, 500 mL bottle Rislone Engine Treatment, ACDelco PF61E. That's what I've used for all of my oil changes I've done on my 2008 and I've had absolutely no problems.
Pros: no problems
Part number: PF61E
OEM AC Delco
Switched between fram and ac delco. Sticking to ac delco due to a tsb. Oil pressure issues.
Pros: Sticking to ac delco
Cons: Oil pressure issues
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Malibu
Mileage: 168000 km
Been using just regular t4 Rotella and AC Delco filters on all of my diesels since 2011. No complaints
Pros: no complaints
I'd only mix in half a quart each OCI, just to keep the oil pump happy. Nonetheless, it'll be fine. My '08 3.3L Chrysler takes 5w20 & I always replace a quart with 5w30 or 0w20, depending on the season. My '06 3.8L Buick takes 5w30, I typically replace a quart with 10w30 since I live in the desert. Doing so, in combination with only using Purolator & ACDELCO (personal preference) filters & changing them every 3k as recommended, keep my engines happy with their age
Pros: engines happy with age
Ac delco/delphi quality has been getting really bad. There’s a cheaper line of products that are all Chinese and then a higher level. I stopped using their oil filters when the threads were completely off for my 3800.
Pros: cheaper line of products
Cons: quality getting really bad
I changed the oil with an AC Delco PF66 filter. Turned on the car and it instantly started spewing oil. Immediately turned it off. Oil sprayed through the cracks in front grill/bumper panel on passenger side.
Cons: instantly spewed oil, catastrophic failure
Part number: PF66
Yup, they’re trash. I had the same thing happen to me in my Cruze when I used a fram oil filter. I have been using ACDelco oil filters for the last few changes with no issues.
Pros: no issues
Cons: trash
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Cruze
WIX. AC Delco used to be my go to for gm vehicles but some years back they switched out metal parts for plastic and the filters started to have a higher failure rate.
Pros: WIX is good
Cons: higher failure rate, plastic parts
