Good oil for older non DI engines.

Lots of calcium (2158) and low magnesium (9)
With some moly (81) and boron (287)
Must be a good oil for non DI engines yet still dexos2 certified? Maybe GM certification is not as good as BITOG certification?
The approved of GM dexos2 is, as it were, an analog of the classification of ACEA C3.
The approved of GM dexos1 Gene2 is, as it were, an analog of the classification of ACEA A5 and A1 of the latest editions.
Read, the approved of GM dexos2 and GM Dexos1 Gen2 refer to quite different engine oils - the first is designed primarily for diesel engines and high-loaded gasoline engines, and the second is for gasoline engines designed for HTCS div>
So I misstyped on my phone, GM Dexos1 Gen 2.
If you clicked on the link...
you will eventually see:
.And there is no licensed diesel Dexos2 that is 0w20
And it goes back to my original point, high calcium, low magnesium for an oil distributed by GM, which BITOG thinks is bad for Dexos1 and LSPI, but GM's Dexos Licensing says otherwise.
