Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

1 - 5 qt jug of QSAD 5w20 conventional SN at AAP, marked way up but beaten back down to $10 after a $5 speed perk. It is earmarked as a break in oil to enjoy brand new RTV or junk that falls into the JDM engine for my Toyota Matrix project.

2 - 5qt jugs of Castrol Edge 10w30 at Autozone for $43 - $20 rebate = $23. Picking it up tomorrow afternoon. Fancy stuff for small engine equipment.

5L Shell Spriax S4 TXM, meets J20C for the lawn tractor. 10L Castrol GTX 10W40 meets API SP for 2022 3.6L Acadia.
Today; 5x 0W40 M1 FS Euro 4.73L jugs. Now I can do 5w30 Dexos 1 Gen3 API SP vs GTX 10W40 SP vs 0W40 FS in a 2022 3.6L Acadia. It’s going to take a few years ladies and gentlemen and transgenders, I’ll post the UOAs.
 
GTX 20w50 now comes with SP? Is that correct? Is it in a GF-6 category? Obviously not in any GF-6 category..... right?
Pretty much nothing thicker than 10W30 can be ILSAC rated anymore, 0W40, 5W40, and 10W40 technically can be but I think it's pretty much impossible to meet the fuel economy requirements of ILSAC with any Xw40 since the HTHS has to be over 3.5, and 20W50 has never been an ILSAC grade.

Yep, that's what I thought and after looking at my Mobil-1 & Pennzoil 0w40 jug specs out in the garage, it just states SP and nothing else that's ILSAC or GF-6.

Another question....
Are all Dexos 2 gas / diesel oil additive specs compliant with most gasoline engine manufacturer's catalytic converters?

Oh wait..... hang on! Didn't I just recently read that the new SP spec now separate gas oils from diesel oils?...... meaning the writing on jugs will no longer say we can use either diesel or gasoline with this oil? Didn't that stop with SN Plus?

Certainly not gf-6a or Dexos 1 or 2..... right?
There’s at least four or five GTX 20w50s to choose from. I got the plain Jane SP, but there’s also super clean, high mileage, Euro A3/B4, motorcycle and Classic Car.
 
Just purchased two 5 qt jugs of idemitsu 0w20 sp and 2 hengst filters for my 2.5 Nissans from rock auto with a discount code 👍 change twice a year using 5w30 in the hotter months
