Doesn't look like that PSC company sells the new oil. The guy at Kendall told me the one with "liquitek" is the upgraded gf-6 "dexos formula" and that they're phasing our the latter.

I was on the phone with Kendall a couple days ago, actually. The Gt1 max with titanium is not d1g2 approved. There is also a GT1 max with liquitek that JUST came out that is gf-6 and IS d1g2 approved, which is replacing their "dexos" (obviously d1g2 approved) formula without liquitek. The ones...

Just found this on the M1 5w/30 ESP we use in the wife's ML diesel. So this stuff would actually be better than any of the d1g2 oils for my vehicle? I'm so lost, lol You did mention MB 229.5. I take it that's different than the specs in the below chart? Or was something changed or upgraded?

Got it. Thanks all for the replies. Any thoughts on the filtering/flow of ea of the two aforementioned filters? I've red that the Baldwin's aren't anything to write home about in regards to filtering, but with 5-6k oci's, will it be that big of an issue? How MUCH better is the wix? (Using...

Baldwin filters are some of the heaviest, most bulletproof filters I've ever held in my hand.

thanks guys. I think I have it now.....so each filter will work for whatever application it's designed for despite it possibly being off a couple psi because that was taken into consideration while constructing the filter for said application.

Currently using wix wl10290 which I think is a good, solid filter for 5-6 k oci's, but I have a Baldwin on the shelf that I'd purchased just before I read the ADBV pressure was lower (20psi) vs the stock PF64 (and the wix I have) both @ 22psi. (which is what Cadillac says I need for my car) My...

Something I found odd through is that it says on the sheet that it's approved for Dexos 1 (makes no mention of gen 2), but the front of the bottle says d1g2? Didn't see what kind of base it's made from either.
