Current Oils with Dexos 1 Gen 3 approval?

[DCDG]

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum has lost its "Dexos GM Approval" as Shell was forced to change its formulation process following the Iranian missile strike on Shell's Pearl GTL plant in Ras Laffan, Qatar. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is now a Hydrocracked Oil, not an ultra-pure GTL Oil.

You don’t need GTL to have a Dexos cert. All about saving the Benjamin’s

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is now a Hydrocracked Oil, not an ultra-pure GTL Oil.

The GTL-derived base oil was/is also hydrocracked, and falls under the same Group III umbrella as the replacement.

Theoretically, what happens if all/most Dexos “approved” oils are no longer available? The same oil jug that used to be Dexos no longer is.

Will GM start blaming the lack of Dexos for engine issues?

I ask this in regards to people who insist Dexos is required for their engine.

Yes, they will. You will be told that they had it at the dealer parts department for $155.88 a case of 12. Scumbags.

Just hold your receipts they don't know what product was on the shelf during time of purchase it could have been old stock. I highly doubt the skus are changing on the bottles. Everyone needs to relax. What would you all do during a real life threatening situation?

Not many left at my walmart I did see the other day they had some Pennzoil Platinum Dexos.

The jugs had dexos and the single quarts did not. (Pennzoil Ultra Platinum). Pennzoil Platinum did NOT have the approval.
