CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Is Dexos2 really required in the oil for a 6.2L eng?

I read the requirements Chevy requires for oil. 0W40 synthetic oil but also must have Dexos2. The Dexos requirement really shortens the list of oil. I want to use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Oil (like it because it's made from natural gas) but the oil container doesn't show the Dexos2 trademark. I read somewhere else basically companies pay just to be able to stamp that Dexos label on their oil containers but that most oil companies meets those standards. Any input from anybody would be appreciated? PS Just ordered my LT1 and trying to bring myself up to speed before the car arrives.
