Also, Walmart now carries PP Euro L 5w30. Price is the same $22.47 for the 5qt jug, and you can probably still get that $2/qt SOPUS rebate. It is dexos2.
non-Edge Castrol FINALLY has a clear window!!!!

Yeah the 5qt jugs had it before, but not the single qt bottles

Walmart here has PP 0W40 too. None of the new Ultra though.

Why would a EURO oil needs a dexos cert?
Unless it is doubling as their SN 5w30 for US vehicles also?

Dexos2 certification means that it could be used in diesel vehicles. (Think Chevy Cruze.) The whole concept of small vehicle with a diesel is slowly making its way into American market now, but have been in huge demand overseas, in EUROpe. At least that's how I choose to interpret the Euro oils.

The Cruze diesel uses dexos2, and all GM cars sold in Europe (both gas/petrol and diesel) use dexos2 rather than dexos1.

Nice!
That Euro PP would make a nice winter oil for the Jeep. Or a good long drain oil for anything.

I need to check my local Wal Mart since that thing carries BMW LL-04.
That is some competitive pricing for such oil.

Yep, Dexos2 is fairly similar to the Euro ACEA C3 spec. In Oz all the Dexos2 oils are also C3 oils.
The ACEA C3 is sort of a mid-SAPS, mid-TBN version of a ACEA A3/B4 oil.
In Oz the iTi 1.4 L turbo petrol engines on the Cruze are known to chew up oil, so GM-Australia say to use a high HTHS Dexos2 oil (>= 3.5 cP) rather that the lower HTHS Dexos1 oil. I personally would use an A3/B4 oil myself, but nobody asked me. Oh well....

Better (very) late than never.
Never mind it's low SAPS nothing I am putting in a gasser.

I would do the same out of warranty.
The PP HM 10W30 has a KV100 = 10.6 cSt and is API SN rated.
The M1 HM 10W30 has a KV100 = 12.1 cSt has a HTHS of 3.5cP and is API SN and ACEA A3/B3 rated.
Both are good, I quite like the M1 HM myself.
