Will the new CK-4, PC-11 and GF-6 North American standards better align those classifications with existing ACEA?

I don't think the PC-11 stuff will have much of a problem aligning itself. Generally, the current ACEA E sequences take CJ-4 as a baseline. The A1/B1 A5/B5 stuff is a little different in its relationship with the ILSAC ratings. I always wonder how much stuff for dexos1 was pulled out of ACEA A and B sequences, myself.

Yes, I wonder the same thing, but I'm not too sure what the exact Dexos standard is.
Does anybody have a link?

Not offering the following as really evidence of anything, but this leads me to think dexos 1 is still more aligned with API/ILSAC than ACEA.
Here's an Afton A3/B3/B4 package that they describe as being "proven technology"...i.e. probably a little older.

And another "all rounder" that gets a few of the OEM specs roped in as well.

And an SN package that can do all ILSAC grades, plus Dex 1 with no changes in treat rate.

Can sort of glean how they move through the ratings.
That last one seems to indicate that Dexos 1 requires lower volatility and better shear stability than the ILSAC grades.

I would agree. It may be close to an A1/B1, but what you found does indicate what you say it does.
That's interesting. Are they just going to dump 2014 as a non-starter, while they're at it?
Well, it certainly would be pointless; I can't dispute that.
