Its my view that a cars boot should always contain some oil for top-up!
Yes there are lists available, some make specific forums have them kicking about...
As you say the specific specs are becoming predominant, and if one is to deviate at all one must understand the fundamentals if they wish to preserve their engine and dpf etc.
In the old days it was static viscosity, if your engine took 15w40 you used that or maybe 10w40, it was that simple. Now you've got to get the right string of letters and numbers on the label, and remember said string, which could appear on varied viscosities or one specific viscosity, and which will oly appear on certain bottles but not others in the same viscosity.......
