Same DEXOS approval number for several brands?

[tiger862]

I also checked Castrol website and doesn't show a 0w30 as Dexos approval

If not, it is possible that pic was photoshopped for reasons that I couldn't possibly explain??

It's certainly possible. In any event, be it a modified photo or a Castrol labeling error or GM not caring, it's not a logo I believe belongs there. I didn't believe the ILSAC mark on the Mobil 1 ESP Formula or whatever it was a couple years ago, either.

At least that one was a little easier to swallow.

Thanks for the link!
I see that it now says "This product is not available", as opposed to a weaker statement like "This product is out of stock".
Maybe it should say "This product does not exist"???

Man, thought XOM had too many offerings...wow!
23 Castrol oils for d1G2 and 30 for d2!!
Although some of the listings might be for the exact same oil...there are two listings for Castrol Magnatec Professional OE 5W40 under d2 with the same license # and absolutely no distinction shown between them, for example.
???
Confusing as heck...

Walmart Canada's web site leaves a lot to be desired at times.
