A quote from the previously mentioned wiki
"....A new set of specifications, GF-5,[13] took effect in October 2010. The industry has one year to convert their oils to GF-5 and in September 2011, ILSAC will no longer offer licensing for GF-4...."

This discussion has been limited to pointing folks to information that can help with understanding. Specific interpretation and recommendations are the mandate of the engine manufacturer and engine lubricant manufacturer which are the best places to consult for specific details on how they interpret the use of the specifications that they recommend.
