The General Motors oil specification in question, GM6094M, denotes specific loads and temperatures to be met in the test lab.Independent research has not uncovered the specific goals of GM6094M, but quickly showed that many synthetic and mineral based oils meet the requirements, so there is nothing too exotic about this engine oil requirements. Both Havoline (mineral) and Redline (synthetic) 5W-30 oils meet this specification, for example, so a number of oils should work.
From an older post on GM TechLink website, here is a list of oils that met this spec (circa 2005): http://forums.genvibe.com/zerofile/7142/synthgd.pdf
