See what I mean? My thought process is: every curent Dexos2 oil will be on the list (referenced by GM) but every oil meeting/exceeding dexos2 standards may not display the logo (for whatever reason??).
I feel like I need to get AL Oppenheiser's ear on this one haha.

What we are looking for is a 40WT oil that says Dexos2 then we are good on warranty. Not Dex2 30wt oils, they do not apply.
It appears that Dexos website is out of date.
Castrol Edge PDS:

CASTROL EDGE TURBO DIESEL 5W-40 meets Dex2
EDGE 5W-40 U.S does not have dex2
Looks like we got to look on the shelf for turbo diesel oil and see if it says Dex2 on the bottle.
Edit:
The Cruze's Manual says
Quote:
"Use of Substitute Engine Oils if
dexos2 is unavailable: In the event
that dexos2-approved engine oil is
not available at an oil change or for
maintaining proper oil level, you
may use substitute engine oil that
meets ACEA C3 of the appropriate
viscosity grade."

So I wonder if GM can add an addendum to the SS's manual about ACEA approved oils as that is easy to find in 40wt.
It would be great if the people writing the manuals would check availability.
Edit:
Amazon and
Advanced Auto sell Valvoline MST 5W40 (Make sure it says MST on top of power on the front of the bottle)
