2024 Escalade V
I just took my 2024 Escalade V to a Chevy dealer to get an oil change at 500 miles (I was told any GM dealer is OK, and they had availability) and they put 0W-40 oil in (no idea why). Is that OK or should I take it back in and have OW-20 put in like the manual says to use?

Thanks in advance!
 
If your Escalade V has the 6.2L LT4 supercharged engine, then you need Dexos R 0W-40.
If you just have a 6.2L L87 engine, then yes, 0W-20 is what goes in that engine.

Unless something changed in 2024, which I doubt, here’s GM Tech Link snapshot.

My dealer put in OW-20, and I went back and made him use the proper OW-40. He told me... opps... every V escalade he services has the wrong oil.
