I had a 2008 zo6 that always ran 160 degrees oil temp on the road. What do you find the newer dry sump GS cars run

Oil capacity including filter for the 2013 GS dry sump engine is approximately 10.5 qts.

dexos™ is not a brand or type of oil. It is an engine oil specification developed by GM Powertrain engineers. Mobil 1 5w30 meets the dexos™ specification and is a licensed GM dexos1™ product:

Also see the following links for additional info:

what you need to know about dexos™

NOTE: In addition to using engine oil that is approved to the dexos specification, one should also use the appropriate viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Oil temps on our 2013 GS with dry sump run about the same (160 degrees) with ambient air temperature up to about 80 degrees. Our oil temps will run somewhat higher as ambient air temps rise above 80 degrees.

Didn't you get an owners manual with that car?
