GM Genuine Motor Oil 5W-30 dexos2

Owner:General Motors Company (USA)
OriginUSA
Manufactured:Multiple countries

GM Genuine Motor Oil is the official lubricant brand for General Motors vehicles, specifically formulated to meet the 'dexos' global engine oil specifications. The product shown, a 5W-30 dexos2 variant, is primarily designed for European markets to serve both light-duty diesel and gasoline engines.

While the brand is owned by the American company General Motors, the actual manufacturing is decentralized. For the European market, production is often handled by specialized lubricant manufacturers such as Wolf Oil Corporation in Belgium or TotalEnergies (formerly Total-Fina-Elf) in France. In other regions like the Middle East or North America, production may be handled locally or by long-term partners like ExxonMobil to ensure the oil meets regional climate and supply requirements.

General Motors (GM), headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, oversees the brand through its GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco divisions. The brand ensures that vehicles maintain their warranty and optimal performance by using oils that undergo rigorous testing to achieve the dexos certification.
