New Motor Oils for GTDI Engines...

The Gen 2 uses port and direct injection.

So none of this pertains to Raptors?

Well if the article is specific to DI (admittedly I skimmed) then take it with a grain of salt. However, using quality oil is pretty important and even DI + PI can still have some carbon buildup. Of course not nearly as bad as DI alone.

What oils meet that spec ? You can’t go wrong using the best oil you can get

There are none that meet the new SP spec yet. However, the SN PLUS oils are out there right now. Just check the label for the SN PLUS in the API circle. Mobile 1, Pennzoil Platinum, & Walmart SuperTech Synthetic 5w30s for sure. There may be others, but I haven't checked to be sure.

Good to know, didn't know that Gen 2 Raptor motor was both port and direct.

I usually use Mobil One, just changed my oil using Mobil one truck and suv, says it has extra additives for this, idk, whatever, Mobil has always been pretty good so I’m giving this version a try.

This and more than likely there are many oils that aren't SP PLUS designated yet that still meet and exceed the standard.

i'm going to be using a full ester based synthetic when i do my oil change.

The new SP oils are now available at Walmart, so I would expect it most everywhere... Check the labels.
