Lots of 0w20 synthetic oils meet the GM dexos standard, even Amazon Basics.

It looks a like a licensing revenue scheme by GM more than anything else: you don't get on that list for free.
Use the SAE oil weights recommended by your owners manual, and you're good to go, mostly 0w20 these days.

Apparently Amazon has oil now.
