One of the oil companies in Australia is Nulon and they make Nulon Long Life 5W30 Full Synthetic which is rated API SN, ILSAC GF-5 and Dexos1-Gen2. It’s a well respected local oil that you can get everywhere.
It gives its GM dexos license number and it is listed on the GM dexos web page, so all good.
However I can’t find it listed on the API EOLCS directory.
Did I miss it ?
Is it possible to be genuine Dexos without being genuine API SN / SP?
I know ACEA is self certified, is this possible with API?
To me Euro ACEA and Dexos are higher standards than API SN, so I’m not worried about the quality of the oil if it carries either of the other two specifications.
