Why does the label say dexos2 approved, but nowhere is this mentioned in the product information?

The image shows the newest registered picture on file for the RAVENOL VMO 5W-40 product. However, the Amazon product listing has not yet been updated. The oil currently in stock is the Dexos2 Approved fluid as can be seen on other VMO product listings if you do a search in any web browser.

Is this better than the ravenol vsi 5w40?

Yes that would be the correct oil.
