So you're looking for a dexos 1 0w-20 with 30 grade performance. Why not just get a 5w-30 d2g2 and claim "I saw dexos so I put it in and it ran perfectly fine" in the extreme unlikely event the engine fails and they ask what exactly you put in if they cared enough after seeing the inside of the engine was spotless anyway.
D1g2 with hths above 3.1

Dexos 1 gen 2 is a 0w-20. Dexos 2 gen 2 is a 5w-30 that's used in gas and some diesel engines I believe and dexos D is a stout 0w-20 used in diesels.
None of that is correct. It's based on HT/HS anyway, grades are an afterthought. There are plenty of 30-grade dexos1 Gen2 and 40-grade dexos2 products.
Lol no
Tbh, I didn't even know there was a d2g2 spec now. My warranty went out the window when the car had 500 miles on it. I'm just trying to find a "thick" 5w30 for a turbo direct injected motor. I thought the d1g2 spec was the "it" spec for that motor. That's why I was aiming at d1g2. If there is something even better than that, I'm all for it.
There isn’t. I believe it was issued as dexosD instead.
What's this d1g3 I just read about?
How do you guys feel about the Mobil 1 5w30 ESP? Looks like it just might be what I'm looking for. Thoughts?
Rather than worry about dexos this and dexos that, what you need is a lower SAPS oil with a decent HT/HS and oxidation resistance.
Hmm did I mention that? Or the under $5/quart equivalent at Walmart.com?
One of the best oils on the market IMHO
I would say yes, my car would know the difference. It's a 1.6l EB motor in a Fiesta. It's a TT5 track car, on e85 and methanol. It sheared down some Amsoil SS 5w30 into a light 20wt in only 2200 miles of STREET driving. I'm looking for a better alternative that would shear down to a 30wt in that amount of mileage.
Why did you start just another thread? Just to repeat the same discussion?
Ravenol RSP vs REP vs DXG
I've searched and read alot of different threads about these oils. Just trying to figure out which would be best for Turbo Direct Injection (Ford Fiesta ST 1.6). I'm looking for something that is D1G2, low saps, etc, etc. No long OCI's and the car is driven very hard, lots of track days. I don't...

No, because after that thread, I started doing more research, and had different questions, mainly about the d1g2 specs. You don't have to participate if you don't want to, you know that, right?
Well, you don't have to read my contribution if you don't appreciate it, did you know that?
The point is, some of the questions asked here wouldn't have been necessary with the
information provided in the former discussion. Why again start from the beginning? It's still
the same car and still the same question "what oil to use'. What thread are you going to start
next, why not start another one?

I do know that I don't have to read your contribution, but I do appreciate it, yours and everyone else's....buuuut, MY point is, that I was asking (at least from my perspective) different questions then what were in the last post, as well as my decision to try a more "off the shelf" oil, as opposed to a boutique oil (which was what was the main topic and mainly recommended in the last post). Also, some of those recommendations, were for some oils that do NOT meet the requirements that I am now looking for. Requirements that I did not even know I wanted until I was directed down a different path, and started researching different oils (as a result of the last post). Also, the last post was a few weeks ago I believe, and I don't know how long people follow these posts for, so I thought I would just make a new post. Apparently, that triggers some people here, my apologies. I was actually warned about joining this website, and was told that some people here can be "caddy". I guess I now know what they meant.
How do you think the Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 would hold up to some hard street driving?
