I was on the Castrol site and I noticed that Castrol GTX 5w-20 oil meets the performance spec.Is this the same spec from manufacture?Castro Syntec 5w-20 on their site does not meet the performance spec.They marked GTX oil on their site with a asterisks.Thanks Joe
Carroll/Chrysler MS-6395 Spec

Chrysler’s latest revision to the MS-6395 specification calls for a field trial spanning multiple seasons over two years.
My guess is that Syntec has not yet completed the trials. I don't believe that it is a particularly tough spec to meet.

I looked on the Castrol GTX oil bottle and the Chrysler spec MS-6395 is not listed but it is listed on the Castrol Syntec oil bottle.

According to the Chrysler documents linked in this thread, no Castrol products were officially approved as of 7/2012...

Interestingly though, Imperial Oil / Esso is on the list, which is a Canadian subsidiary of ExxonMobil of course.
PS: Who's Carroll?

Rather strange, isn't it? Petro-Canada has approved oils, too. Imperial Oil does, but XOM in the States does not? Chrysler seems to have more resistance to their specifications than GM ever found with dexos.

I'm not sure but aren't SOPUS products the factory fill for Chrysler/Fiat? If so then it would make sense that PU would meet the spec. If not then
