Getting ready to perform an oil change on my 2017 Malibu (1.5) and was wondering if anyone uses the Mobile 5w30 Dexos Gen 3 oil? I have only used the Gen 2 but my local store is only carrying the Mobile Dexos Gen 3 moving forward. For what I’m seeing online the newer gens are backwards compatible.

Gen3 is backwards compatible. All gen2 licenses will soon be invalid so mid next year all you'll find is bottles that are gen3 if they are dexos1 licensed. I have Mobil1 5W30 dexos1 Gen3 in my 2016 1.5 and still doing well at 130k.
