Not really news, since we've known about the upcoming second gen. Dexos1, but just an official announcement from Lubrizol...
Lubrizol Announces Investment in Development of Second Generation GM dexos1(TM) Formulations
Quote:
Many existing passenger car motor oils for gasoline engines will likely need to be reformulated in order to meet the new dexos1 performance standards, which include:
- Stochastic pre-ignition (SPI) prevention
- Heightened fuel economy limits
- Reduced turbocharger deposits
- Additional testing to ensure durability and cleanliness
[...]
Mandatory transition to the new dexos1 specification is expected in August 2016; current dexos1 certification will expire at that time.
