Dexos2 is all you need.

Don't see much d2 discussion on here...

It shows the top 12 2-digit codes often found on oil containers and their relevance to vehicle age and oil evolution. Google is your friend.

Ran thru all 9 pages --no way to edit the original post to update the list ( which was last seen on page 6 or 7 ? )

This work helps us all ( or me especially )

Thanks
