Since the consensuses is to use a low SAPS oil in a DI/DI turbo engine. Is DEX G1D2 a low SAPS oil?

And don't look to squeeze every last mile out of the oil. Extending OCI's to get every bit of life out of the oil is not always the best or most cost effective thing to do.
I prefer to CRC turbo and intake cleaner every 10-15k.
This is keeping our DI engines, one is a turbo, spotless.
Last year I put a boroscope with a light down the throttle body to confirm that it actually cleans.
If you do this, check 7 days after you use the CRC. It keeps cleaning after initial application.
It's cheap and easy. Also cleans the spark plugs and turbo exhaust impellers.

I just did one can of the CRC in my Ranger. At 4700 miles I'm coming up on oil change #2 and I intend to do a can every change. I think that if it is going to work, this is probably the only way that it will. Letting the buildup happen and then trying it once you're having symptoms is too late and time for the walnut blast. IMO of course.
I don't like the fuel dilution in winter, I worry about soot and wear. So I'm doing 2k winter 3 k summer oci.
On my mpfi engines still 5-7k..
How about a 100hp Nitrous shot and a cold start injector upstream for the extra fuel needed.Accept that a valve walnut blast may be a maintenance item now at some point and drive. Install MPI.
" ... but officer, I was just cleaning my intake valves!"
