AC Delco DexosD 0W-20 Oil and Filter Change Kit - Duramax 3.0L

Our review of the AC Delco DexosD 0W-20 Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change Kit finds it best suited for owners of the 3.0L Duramax LM2 who want an OEM-matched, all-in-one service solution. The kit's single biggest reason to buy is convenience combined with confidence: it supplies the correct low-viscosity 0W-20 Dexos D oil, a compatible AC Delco filter, gloves and an oil change sticker so an owner can complete a proper scheduled service without hunting parts.

Key Features

• OEM-matched oil: The kit includes 0W-20 Dexos D formulated to meet modern energy-conserving and API service requirements for diesel engines.
• Wear and deposit protection: The formulation exceeds ILSAC GF-5 and API standards to reduce deposits and protect turbocharged components from wear and low speed preignition.
• Complete change components: The package comes with the correct oil filter and gloves so the DIYer has nearly everything needed for a standard change.
• Value and convenience: Customers report the kit contains seven quarts of oil and an oil change sticker, making scheduled maintenance easier and more trackable.
• Engine performance benefits: Users note their trucks run smoothly after service, indicating the oil supports engine cleanliness and consistent operation.

Who It's For

The kit is aimed at Duramax 3.0L LM2 owners and technicians who want an OEM-style service package with the right viscosity and filter on hand for a single oil change. It is particularly useful for owners who prefer to do routine maintenance themselves and value having gloves and a reminder sticker included.

Those who should look elsewhere include shops that require bulk oil delivery or owners of non-DexosD-specified engines; this kit is formulated to meet DexosD/API/ILSAC-related standards and is optimized for the engines listed rather than as a universal oil solution.
