I understand the new formulation benefits of Dexos 1 Gen 2 by the oil companies to minimized LSPI events is better for engines that are Direct Injected, especially turbo direct injected.
BUT! Is this new formulation also better for port injected engines (non-direct injected)? Not pre-ignition wise, but lubrication wise.
It seems as with some of the newest formulations, some have mentioned a cheapened/lesser product with shearing/viscosity loss, low temp pour point is not as good, etc. Possibly due to the new GTL base stocks?
