Supertech isn't on the official dexos1 list: http://www.centerforqa.com/gm/dexos1-brands
Maybe they meet it, maybe they don't, who knows?
GM must be getting rich off all the ransom they charge for all the officially licensed dexos1 products. The list is huge now!!!! Remember, dexos1 is just a minimum set of performance tests, not an actual elixir of any kind, so GM has found a racket. Many people in the general public think dexos1 is a specific oil brand-forumulation, its not. Not sure how much $$$ GM gets off each quart, I thought I once heard around a nickel per quart. Smart business I guess, kind of onerous.
GM makes about enough off the dexos licensing fee's to pay for administering the program. Maybe a little more. Their real business is selling cars for profit.
