Valvoline 5W-40 MST full synthetic had the blue dexos2 label - this is one of the oils specified for Track usage in the 2018 owner's manual. The other dexos2 oil specified in the 2018 manual for Track usage is Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5W-40 (hard to find in the U.S.). The Track recommendation (requirement?) is different than the daily driver recommendation/requirement.

But, as others have pointed out, each year seems to be different, even though the cars use the same engine. Very odd and confusing.
I looked again, and you're right: regular Mobil1 has a dexos1 rating.
