I'm confused... I've had PUP 0W-20 (dark gray label) in my sump for several OCI now?
Read the front of my sentence you cut off in the quote where I say its dexos1 Gen2. Since we don't have a dexos1 Gen2 Ultra yet in the U.S., and the rest of the planet currently has dexos1 Gen2 Shell Helix Ultra SN Plus 0w20, then maybe the U.S. will get a re-labelled dexos1 Gen2 Shell Helix Ultra SN Plus 0w20 as Pennzoil Ultra 0w20. Other Ultra weights in 5w20 and 5w30 don't have a Helix Ultra global dexos1 Gen2 yet, if ever... we'll have to see what SOPUS does with the U.S. Pennzoil line-up.

Boron is bigger now. Ultra always had a lot, I think to keep junk from sticking on to pistons, among other uses. And Exxon-Mobil was discussing it:
"For lubricating oil formulations containing at least one detergent and at least one boron-containing compound in accordance with this disclosure, an engine exhibits greater than about 50%, preferably greater than about 75%, and more preferably greater than about 95%, reduced low speed pre-ignition, based on normalized low speed pre-ignition (LSPI) counts per 25,000 engine cycles, engine operation at 2000 revolutions per minute ( PM) and brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) at 18 bar, as compared to low speed pre-ignition performance achieved in an engine using a lubricating oil containing a minor component other than the at least one detergent and the at least one boron- containing compound, and in an amount other than the amount of the at least one detergent and the at least one boron-containing compound, in the lubricating oil." --
