Id find which ever oil has the highest hths. Some people are seeing temps as high as 270F which makes oil thin at that temp which is interesting so you definitely want to be running 40wt for tracking.
Now which Dexos2 oil is best thats entirely a different question an oils PDS and specs would have to be analyzed to choose one that may be better than another.

So I saw several 0w40 and 5w40 oils today ... most of which were mobil1, etc. Unfortunately they didn't have the dexos2 logo so that to me says it is a no-go. I did see some motul online I could get and they also say that using "valvoline synpower mst 5w40" or "Mobil 1 esp formula M 5w-40". I searched for those and couldn't find the exact oils (eg: I found mobil1 esp, and Mobil1 formula M, not not one where it had both names??).
it's like they don't want you to change your own oil haha. This is a BMW type trick.
