NHTSA has expanded its investigation of GM’s 6.2-liter L87 V8 to nearly 1 million vehicles as post-remedy engine failures raise new questions about the 2025 recall. The probe comes as the dexos R SAE 0W-40 market faces higher premium base-oil costs and tighter supply conditions.
JobbersWorld compared February and August retail prices for 97 directly matched motor-oil products and found prices were collectively 24.2% higher, with some of the largest increases concentrated in five-quart full synthetics.
