OK bought the Euro oil went on rebate site and it doesn't list that oil.
There are options, so I selected the second one that's for Pennzoil Platinum@ Full Synthectic.
Used the log on site, took a picture of the receipt, attached it to the form and sent it out.
It will take 8 weeks to see a rebate check if they except Euro L.
The other thing that got me is when I sent it I got a verification of it from Shell oil.
Yet when you open that address it's a dead end.

"Should have had a V8" and bought more just like at the start of this post.

I checked this oil, and didn't see it saying that it meets 4718m performance requirements. I am not an oil guru. But owner manual calls for that specs. Any idea?

Yes, it does. I only found 4 oils with 4718m specs. Mobil1, Castrol titanium, red line full synthetic, amsoil signature series. But than again, maybe I am missing something .

That is a really old spec, replaced by Dexos1 in, I think, 2011. This is Dexos2, which exceeds Dexos1.

do you know why mobil1 still puts dexos1 and 4718 separately in approved requirements on the bottle than? They just should leave dexos1.

The GM 4718M specification was phased out, (replaced), in 2010...
Dexos1 replaced 4718M...
Dexos2 has replaced Dexos1...

dexos®

Dexos2 helps to prevent DI 'coking', which is a BIG problem with our LNF engine

This Pennzoil Platinum Euro L is a Dexos2 oil...

Probably marketing. Many owner manuals(like ours) specify one or the other, so Mobil is smart to let us know that their oil is acceptable. Many people don't realize that the old specs are obsolete, and so they search out the few that have the spec they need on the bottle.
