Did my first oil change with 8lt of Enviro + C3 5-30 after it was recommended. It's a 2014 Calais V V8.. and is my baby. Now when I search the oil and my vehicle on the Repco website it says product is not compatible.. we are supposed to go camping tomorrow. Is this oil ok for the car or should I try again? TIA

Should be fine,
Don't always go by the accuracy of the listings or Websites,
5w-30 is what is normally recommended anyway.

Just make sure you have installed the filter correctly, and its tight, the Oil Cap is on,
and most of all, the "Sup plug is tight" and not leaking.

It's not listed because it's a DPF oil, there is no issue it's just a higher spec.
LS engines can use any full synthetic 5w-30
However if you have a diesel with DPF filter you would need to use the correct oil for that engine.

Thanks all

I would suggest though, next service use ten tenths oil from penrite, it has a higher zinc content and will help with cam wear better than other oils.
