That's different from the ones you will find in most North American stores. If you live in Europe, you can find these and they are a viable alternative. As I mentioned, most of the Castrol Edge 0W-40 you find in North America are the A3/B4 variant and not Dexos 2 certified, if that matters to you.

Just make sure none of that oil makes it to the exhaust somehow if you still have cats. Zinc kills cats.
