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.

Dexos2 is hard to find, & when you do find it, it is really expensive.
Except for the Pennzoil Platinum Euro L , which can be easily found at
your local Walmart for around $20 for a 5qt jug...
Make sure it is Dexos2 Euro L , as they do make a plain Euro without the 'L'

Neither, just that Dexos 2 has meets standards for EURO DIESEL ENGINES. Even the LNF is not as refined as we might believe, and would run just fine on any top quality synthetic.

But 2 is a higher number than 1 so that makes it better. Should we spice things up and mention that Dexos 1 also has a Generation II spec? So whats better, Dexos 1 Gen II or Dexos 2!?!?!!?!

Please use ANY brand of oil meeting the Dexos2 specification...
'Coking' of the intake valves is bad, really bad, & a Dexos2 spec oil WILL help prevent the deposits...
Everyone of you have to face this issue...
