I have a brand new turbo GDI car. The API SP and ILSAC GF-6 motor oil standard has been out for over a year, so where can I buy some?
API SP or ILSAC GF-6 motor oil where to buy?

Those are GF-5 not GF-6 which doesn't seem to be available in the market yet. OP will need to check with dealer.
the descriptions are outdated

all meet dexos 1 gen 2 and gf6a specs for lspi
OP , THIS is what you are after , Euro Energy by Gulf Western. API SP + LSPI Protection ( Basically ILSAC GF6) in 5w-30 Fully Synthetic.
Also currently on sale atm for $37.
I have done 2 track days on this oil on a Turbo GDI car also and it never sheared , quality and reliable oil fit for purpose.
If there's no aftermarket options, then the dealer should have some in spec?
