It's interesting that "API cited Pennzoil and Shell as examples of some of the first “GF-6 ready” companies when licensing becomes available on May 1, 2020. They have already completed the testing protocol for select Full Synthetic products, and based on those results, expect that a suite of their products will meet the ILSAC GF-6A and GF-6B standards."

To the best of my knowledge, neither Pennzoil nor Shell currently sell a 0-W20 oil that meets the latest JLR specifications.

Will JLR accept that new ILSAC GF6A oil as meeting their specifications? We'll see ...
