Not to slight Johnny in the least, but he's getting more and more out of the loop as he gets deeper into retirement. Terry's info on SOPUS products is more up to date, especially since he's been doing some consulting work for Shell. He's bound by ND agreements, but every now and then he drops little clues about SOPUS oils that if you pay attention and read between the lines are priceless gems.
Stick your nose in my Shell oil bottle will ya. That's what you get for slighting me.
All kidding aside, G-MAN is correct. I am so far out of the loop now, I have no clue what Shell is doing. I also read between the lines when Terry speaks.

well how are SOPUS products??
i think its a good oil for the price, i bought 6 quarts of it back when it was on sale at Menards, currently running it in my mother's car, and i just checked it today, still has good color and hasn't burned a drop.
I bought motomaster formula1 5w20 which is nothing but formula shell conventional 5w20 up here. Check out the specs

It has low cSt at 40C which will help me since I started driving 1 mile to train station. It wont warm up to 100C hence I dont have to worry much about ATF thin 8.3 cSt. BTW, gman's link has slightly different specs than the one I posted above.. Perhaps formulashell is different from shell canada.

It might be. If I recall correctly, the Formula Shell bottles I've looked at were marked as being from Shell Canada in Calgary.
And that quote from Terry makes me think that the Formula Shell in Canada may not even be from Shell....I'm thinking he is referring to Petro-Canada, but have nothing concrete to prove it other than the fact that PC is a Canadian base oil maker.
LOL! . . .
I just switched to QS and checked the smell of it - pretty stinky too and yet it is a good oil. Maybe oil has to pass the smell test before it is considered good.
