Is there a Dexos 2? I assume these "new" designations pertain to turbocharged engines and direct injection engines.
The oils have been tweaked to lower the incidents of low speed preignition .
Also as early as May or June the API donut will have a sn plus added to it. This also has to do with LSPI affecting TGDI engines. It has different or more LSPI tests than Dexos 1 Gen 2 and is requested by OEM's because GF-6 won't be coming out until 2019.

A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.
The add pack appears a little different, but you wouldn't be far wrong in thinking this oil to be a Synpower clone.
Anyone who likes Synpower should like this NAPA store brand.
