I ordered a case on Dec 6 and on Dec 7. Based on the last few orders received, I suspect mine will arrive at the end of January.
I ordered and received two cases last time around. I've ordered two more cases today. This is a quality oil at a great price.
Think this is safe to use in gdi? How about turbo gdi?
It's Dexos 2, so it's safe for gdi. I'm guessing it would be fine for turbo as well.
You might be thinking dexos 1, gen 2? Dexos 2 is actually going to be renamed to Dexos D or Dexos R because it is misleading. Dexos 2 is actually more of a Diesel spec.
No, I meant Dexos 2. That's why ESP was specified for Corvettes, which are GDI.
Gotcha. I think dexos 2 isn't the best for turbo gdi from what I read. Doesn't apply to me, just an FYI for whomever.
From a SAPS perspective, it's good for GDI. Since most diesels are turbos, I assumed it would be fine for TGDI. But I know that's not exactly equivalent.
This is a pretty good explanation:
dexos 1 vs dexos 2
can please someone explain the difference? it was once said that that the dexos 2 was for diesel but its not really only for it,in europe they recommend it,in the states with the new corvette as well, i go to any companys oil selector and they recommend dexos 1 but also the 2(mazda cx5 g). so my...

My orders from early December I updated the payment method a couple weeks ago as my CC got hacked.
I think doing that reset the order date to the date I changed the payment method. The previous estimated delivery date disappeared.
Today the delivery dates finally updated: Monday, February 12, 2024 - Sunday, March 17, 2024. So I now have another one to two months wait. Fortunately I don't really need this, as I have four gallons already for some upcoming changes.

Inactive now. I would like to buy at the 43.01 for 3 5 quart jugs price. If you see it come active again, please let us know. Thanks.
I should have ordered more when it was active. I am also waiting for it to go live again. I hope it does
It has some T/GDI euro approvals (BMW LL04, MB 229.51) however if your automaker recommends API SN+ or SP then this oil may not be the best choice.
My vehicles are speced for 20 weight oils. But I've switched all of them to the higher HTHS 5W-30 3 years ago and am very happy with that decision. Also, I'm thinking of migrating them to only use ACEA A3/B4 or C3 based oils with HTHS 3.5+.
I honestly don't think API SN or SP is a very strict standard - the bar is too low.
I prefer to look for the Dexos 1 Gen 3 certification as a bare minimum on any low priced full synthetic 5W-30 that I buy,
or ACEA A3/B4 or C3 if buying a Euro oil.
I mentioned SN+ and SP because they both have a LSPI test and SP contains the TGDI chain wear test. The euro certs I mentioned have a chain wear test performed on their own GTDI engines. I only know the tests exists but I'm not aware of how they compare to API. Seeing as the tests under SN+/SP are performed on a highly modified* TGDI engine it may be more stringent if not equally stringent.
*ex, modified rings which introduce excess soot into the crank case.
