Pennzoil probably still has a licensed one, then, too. I know Petro-Canada's and Imperial Oil's equivalents disappeared, at least for a time.
I know from personal experience that syn blends like Chevron's Supreme are more than sufficient for someone like me but does the QS product carrying that Dexos cert justify the added cost in your opinion?? (cost to benefit analysis) it's about a $5 difference between the QS and Chevron Supreme (which itself is a syn blend SN+/GF5) in the 5qt jug. I usually alternate between Supreme and Havoline, which I think are basically the same oil, yes? So if I'm wondering if it's not broken, don't fix it right??
Plus I'm wondering why would someone spend $17 and change for the QS syn blend when for about the same price they can pick up full synthetic ST, which I believe is also D1G2??? (the ST HiMi full syn is even cheaper at around $16)
