Now the two oils may in fact be identical but personally I feel more at ease using an oil with the SN PLUS label....also as of May of this year watch for a further enhancement in engine oil standards with the new label of GF-6 which is also a better standard for our turbocharged GDI engines. Hope this helps with any confusion

Thanks for researching that, learned something new today
. I bought the ones from the first link back in March 2020 (
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1), sold by GPS and not the sold by Amazon ones. I just double checked the bottles I received from them and they're SN Plus labeled as well and have the same labels as the ones pictured on the Amazon link. They're probably just using a pre-2018 picture on Amazon, however I received the 2018 and after bottle with the SN Plus label.
