Default Quick question regarding oil

going in for oil change car has 9000 miles on it bought it used four months ago,2015 Z51.
Checked the posts regarding oil, 43 pages long, post kept saying Mobile One should be used. Question.... is that regular M1 synthetic or the M1 with a DEXOS cert on the container. Just finished a 3600 mile road trip took a quart of M1 DEXOS certified with me in case I needed oil, the quart cost me $9.00 where as regular M1 was $ 5.00 Want to know what to tell sevice manager

$4 up charge for DEXOS on the label. Must be the extra ink needed to print it.
As above post stated Mobil 1-5/30 DEXOS

Hmm, just did and oil change on my Z51. Mobil 1 in 5 quart jugs at Walmart was $22 and received two $12 rebates from Mobil for the two jugs purchased. Two rebates allowed for one buyer. Jugs I bought are full synthetic and have dexos cert label on container.

That was about $2/quart. Even at Walmart single quarts are significantly higher!
