GF-7 Launch Date

[GemStater]

The product in the bottle will be the next spec about 6-9 months before licensing is active.

That way it’s a true rolling change over.

So product in the bottle is GF-7 now but labels won't note it until March 2025?

Yup. Exactly.

Well that might explain why advanced auto has Mobil 1 truck in SUV for $12 per 5 quart jug. Backed the truck up on that one.

Otherwise Advanced Auto is business as usual, right?

Another useless specification that your engine won't notice.

Pennzoil had Euro 5W40 as API SP, like couple years before SP took an effect. It was labeled API SN+.

I wonder what exactly will change when GF7 becomes a thing. Better base oils, or better/new types of additives?

And, Advanced is closing a lot of stores. This could be inventory liquidation too.
