it does not. But if it's on the listed as being Dexos2 on their reference site, it seems like it should be good? Maybe the label makers are behind? If the manual calls for oils from their list, but doesn't specify "Dexos2 must be on the label" ...
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 It appears that Dexos website is out of date.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: http://msdspds.castrol.com/msdspds/m...edmb=No&cols=0 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:
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) Last edited by thescreensavers; 05-06-2016 at 01:00 PM. |

Funny (or sad) story:
I called 3 dealerships around me. One of them pride itself for high volume sales and service of Corvettes and Camaros. None of them ever heard of the Dexos2 requirement. 2 of the dealers don't even carry any 5W40 oil

I have a feeling that this one is the closest thing you can find in a reasonable price

The only 5-40W Dexos 2 I can see is Amsoil European formula.

Penzoil has a 5W30 EURO Oil that is Dexos 2.
Pennzoil Platinum Euro L Canadian Walmart has the new bottles shown. U.S still has old bottle. Yes, it is not a 40W, but maybe someone wants a Dexos 2 for normal oil changes
