I saw this. See link below. It's Elf's website showing that GM-LL-A-025 is met but does not have GM's approval (under manufacturer's approval, lists Mercedes, BMW, VW, Renault, etc. but GM's GM LL-A-025 lists only under "performance level"). Elf oils have been renamed Total. For Total Quartz Energy 9000 0W-30, they have GM and other company's approval. It might be a matter of paying them.
With Castrol Syntec 0W-30 European formula, the GM standard is not listed. It is only listed on the website. However, the language is "exceeds...." So Castrol may be the same way as Elf. The oil performance at or better than the standard but they do not have approval.
What do you think?
