Noticed on the Pennzoil website that Pennzoil now says its dexos1Gen2 oils are “SN Plus Ready”, and will be labeled as such at the earliest allowed date: May 2018.
It makes sense that oil makers would not reformulate separate oils to meet d1G2 and SN PLus, but Pennzoil,is the first I’ve seen to make the SN Plus claim.
I can unspderdtand why non-GM OEMs wouldn’t specify dexos1Gen2 as a standard even if it were beneficial, but it will be interesting to see how quickly they jump on the SN Plus bandwagon. And if SN Plus allows engines to be tuned to better fuel economy, will any OEM back-spec it with an accompanying software update? Probably not, but we can dream...
