They give you an idea of the improvements over GF-5.

Thanks buster.

So licensing is now set for exactly a year from May 1st. I wonder if some brands will come out a few months earlier with, "recommended for GF-6" or "meets GF-6", like some did with SN Plus.

Good info, thanks again.

They have cried wolf too many times. When heck freezes over it will be ready.

I'm still not stuck on having a different logo as an option for the 0w-16. More symbols aren't the answer to any confusion that exists. If you read the manual and buy the correct grade and certification, you're good to go. The only people who are going to pay any attention to differing symbols are the people here reading about it. What's an ordinary consumer supposed to do if they see a 0w-16 with the Starburst alongside a 0w-16 with the shield? Flip a coin? Head for the hills? Go to the dealer? Go to Jiffy Lube?

Someone is going to have to decode this jargon for me, because I'm lost on the majority of the relevant acronyms.

I don't know each test spec either but the improvement numbers show this is a major upgrade.

Thanks buster for sharing.
