I see a similar type list for oil filters in the oil filters forum. And, we see lots and lots of "Who makes this or that oil?" posts.
Well, I had compiled this list for my own use, but thought it may help others understand the sometimes confusing links behind Who Makes What Oil. In particular, before I discovered this board, I had no idea that Shell owned both the Quaker State and Pennzoil brands. Also, the "smaller" blenders like Amalie and Warren Oil for example, market oil under a bewildering number of brand names that are often NOT marked with the blender name on the bottle. And....I do not even need to mention the "2 Warrens" confusion!
A few caveats:
1) This is by no means a complete list. But I would be glad to make any additions if I am able to edit this post (which I do not seem to be able to do after a short period of time after posting)
2) There may be errors. I do not profess to be an expert on this. This is simply data that I gathered from various sources like this board, and the API Licensee web site. Again, I would be glad to make corrections as long as I am able to edit my post.
3) Some obvious brands are not listed under their corporate parent. Do people really need to know that ExxonMobil makes Mobil 1, or that BP/Castrol makes Castrol GTX?
4) Things can and will change. Companies buy other companies and companies merge. And Walmart picks new suppliers...what, every week?! So this info may change over time, just like the data on the oil filter maker list in that forum.
Anyway, here we go! I hope it helps some people (and maybe even eliminates the monthly Who Makes Advance Auto's oil post!)
