Dexos 2 is for diesel. You're looking for Dexos(1) Gen 2.

Actually, Dexos 2 can be applied for both Gas and Diesel.
The important advantage of Dexos 2 for Diesel engines in particular, are the additives and detergents in the oil, that take care of eliminating the harmful deposits. This is also an advantage for cleanliness of Gas engines, especially GDI (Direct Injection) engines, in which there are considerable deposits. Fact, for the LT1 and LT4 GDI engines, Dexos2 is recommended - At least in my SS/1LE it is. |

I like the Motul X-Clean 8100 5W40, but indeed, where I am located, I do have a much wider choice of brands conforming to Dexos2 than back home, mainly due to the popularity of Diesel vehicles that specifically call for this spec. |

Why would you put some UNKNOWN oil company;s product in your car? Mobil 1 or Valvoline Platinum are simply some of the best oil made PERIOD....
I just had my 3rd oil change M 1 5-30 .... could NOT find a AC filter went Mobil 1.....
