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 📰 SOURCES & REPORTING (FULL CREDIT) Primary Reporting GM Authority — GM Dealers Switching 6.2L L87 0W-40 Engine Oil Formula https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/02/gm-dealers-switching-6-2l-v8-l87-0w-40-engine-oil-formula/ Regulatory Source NHTSA Recall Query RQ26001 (Post-Remedy Review of L87 Recall) https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2021/GMC/SIERRA%25201500/PU%25252FRC/4WD#investigations Background / Context GM Safety Recall 25V-274 (L87 Engine Failure Recall) https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls 📌 IMPORTANT OWNER NOTE If your L87 vehicle has been: Recalled, Repaired Or received an engine replacement 👉 Check your service invoice Verify the oil listed is dexosR-approved 0W-40.
