Exxon-Mobil in most if not all areas.
Mobil 1 or Clean, also is it a different formula from Mobil oil?
I heard it was a variation of Mobil Drive Clean, but someone could correct me if I'm wrong.
My delivery guy, when I worked at a Chrysler store, told me that what he delivered to GM, Honda, and Chrysler dealerships under the respective auto makers labels all came from the same supply tank. And yes, he did reluctantly reveal that it was Mobil that supplied the oil. But then he only worked there. Who knows what the "official" line was.

I used the Driveclean series to break in my brand new car until the ODO reached 21,500 and then I poured Motorcraft and basically created another car altogether. It's real close to Exxon Superflo and yes it's made by EM from all my research. It's a great oil and the Driveclean felt no different then the Mobil 1 full synthetic. They say only a UOA can determine wear metals but I go by seat of the pants and fuel economy results because I know the Honda will go the requisite 250-300k with basic maintenance like oil and ATF drain and fills.

In Canada, the Honda oil is made by Petro Canada, with the exception of the 0W20, which is made by Idemitsu. At least it was in the winter of 2006 when I checked. I would assume Acura is the same, but don't know for sure.

Mobil 1 does not make oil. Mobil 1 is a brand of synthetic that is made by Exxon-Mobil.
I though PetroCanada is part of XOM, so they are kind of "Mobil"

No, Esso is part of Exxon-Mobil, Petro-Canada used to be owned by the Canadian government.

Seems a previous post of mine got deleted, oh well. I've never understood why more of you Canadians do not use Petro Canada products. They make some really good lubricants.
Still PetroCanada oils are hard to come by no major store chain carries it only place I can get it is Costco and still they only carry the cheaper variety "Maximum" not the red bottle.
And yes their products are great in winter

You need to find a bulk retailer - it's cheaper than buying at the gas station, and you can get all their products.
