No, it does not mean that. It just means that SOPUS has decided not to certify PU against dexos1, possibly because they don't want to pay additional royalty fees to GM.
Fair enough.
Not that I blame sopus for not wanting to cut the general a cheque however you'd think that they'd want their flagship product approved and certified for new cars.
It's almost like they've alienated their best product to save a few pennies,when the big picture is considered.
So what does that picture mean then exactly. Is it a comparo of the bare minimum gf-5 has to pass vs dexos?
I'm going to assume that's exactly what it means.
And not all gf-5 oils are made the same so in reality a top tier product like ultra for example though it isn't dexos stamped could in all reality be equal or better than dexos,right?
Too much hypothetical here for me. My head hurts now.
Thanks though Quattro. I think I know what your saying.
