Yep no longer approved for Dexos2 and officially suggested as no longer suitable, as its chemical recipe has changed (per earlier thread).

Yes.
Valvoline MST 5w40 Dexos 2 has been discontinued. If you look you might find AdvanceAuto store brand Carquest oil that is rebottled Valvoline 5w40 Dexos 2. That might be all gone now too.

The only Dexos 2 5w-40 I can find online are Motul and Amalie. Between those, not knowing Amalie, I think I'll pick Motul.
I live in a warm climate. Any reason to opt for 0w40 Mobil 1 over the 5w40 options? |
