Read the bottle. If it doesn't list the specs it meets, it doesn't meet them.

Enhanced Dura. is not a full syn. and doesn't meet GM specs for C6. Ultimate Dura. is a full syn. and does meet 4718M, but that is not good for C6's requiring Dexos, the latest GM designation. check your owner's manual for your year car and see if it says Dexos (which is backwards compatible w. 4718M-requiring cars).

You are correct/! Oddly, QS Ultimate Dura. lists Dexos qualified in text but not in table of what specs it meets. Oh well....
