SOPUS seems to be playing around with which oils will be dexos1 certified and which will not. I suspect that Formula Shell Synthetic would meet the dexos1 specification if it were so tested. I just don't see a need for Shell to pay to licence every oil they have that could conceivably meet the specification.
If it were me, I'd licence only the Pennzoil syn blend (as they've done) and then PU, with perhaps another one thrown in the mix. That way, you satisfy the bargain hunters and they guys that want the top end stuff.
