General Motors defined and licensed 'dexos' oil specifications from 2011. dexos 1 and dexos R are designed for petrol (gasoline) engines, dexos 2 and dexos D are designed for diesel engines, however dexos 2 is specified for European petrol vehicles too.
The history of gasoline started around the invention of internal combustion engines suitable for use in transportation applications. The so-called Otto engines were developed in Germany during the last quarter of the 19th century. The fuel for these early engines was a relatively volatile hydrocarbon obtained from coal gas.
These engines were used by IHC for some heavy-duty applications until 1935, although their own large engines (525 cu in (8.6 L) FBD and 648 cu in (10.6 L) FEB) had appeared in 1932. [6] The medium-duty 1930 A-series trucks received the all-new 278.7 cu in (4.6 L) FB-3 six-cylinder engine, with overhead valves and seven main bearings.
The engine block had 4.84-inch (123 mm) bore centers, two-bolt main bearing caps, a "side oiling" lubrication system (the main oil gallery located low on the driver's side of the crankcase), with full-flow oil filter, and interchangeable cylinder heads. Heads used on the high performance 409 and 427 engines had larger ports and valves than ...

Originally intended as the performance block, this engine family through the 350 cu in (5.7 L) became an all-purpose engine that saw use in many applications from Corvettes to commercial vehicles. All engines in this family share the same block dimensions and sometimes even the same casting number; the latter meaning engines were of the same ...
Most trucks had gasoline (G) engines until the early 1960s, when multifuel (M) and diesel (D) engines were introduced. Since then diesel fuel has increasingly been used, the last gasoline engine vehicles were built in 1985. Most engines have been water-cooled with inline (I) cylinders, but V types (V) and opposed (O) engines
The line includes engine oils, gear oils and coolants. The oil carries both the American Petroleum Institute (API) diesel "C" rating as well as the API gasoline engine "S" rating. Ratings differ based on the oil. Rotella oils, like the T3 15W-40, meet both the API CJ-4 and SM specifications, and may be used in both gasoline and diesel engines.
