The concept of a global oil specification started in 2006 with the first prototype created in 2007.

Three years of research and development resulted in the engine oil for both diesel- and petrol-powered automobiles.

Dexos2 belongs to the so-called Mid-SAPS lubricants (lowered sulphated ash, phosphorous and sulphur content) and made of a proprietary blend of base oil stocks and additives compatible with diesel particulate filters (DPF) and gasoline catalytic converters (CAT).

Dexos2 is available through Vauxhall approved outlets in the UK.
