I cut up my Citgo card and mailed the bits back to them years ago, along with a note that as long as Chavez had an affiliation with Citgo I would not knowingly buy their products! But with todays global economy it's almost impossible to know who you're doing business with!
Whats going on with Supertech oil ?

The Harley branded oil is also a citgo product. Again an American company supporting that regime.

Please save us the Canadian perspective lecture on American trade and Hugo Chavez when Canada is a major trading partner with Commie Cuba.

No WPP or WNE on the bottom but "LEE" with a circle around it.
Thats clearly a Citgo oil there. Same jugs as the mystik and harvest king oil jugs, which are made by citgo. The fancy new supergaurd citgo oil bottles here do say MADE IN THE USA on them though.....

Don't thank me yet. I did a typo. It's Safety-Kleen. They seem to do well in fleet sales; they offer a re-refined oil with the latest certifications. I would assume that's what our ST is, considering Safety-Kleen doesn't seem to offer any "virgin" motor oils.

Id be curious to see what the citgo full synthetic looks like on paper. IIRC, its not that impressive but not a bad oil. I think the ST add pack is stronger. Citgo doesnt use boron but has the same moly and Calcium levels, where as ST uses a healthy dose of boron.
Ok, so it would be a South American despot profiting from this decision instead of a Middle Eastern one. I would seriously watch Latin/South America and the Caribbean for the next couple decades because I think they are venturing towards capitalism while the rest of the western world is going the opposite direction. Enough of the politics; does anyone use their HDEO 15W40? I'm kind of wondering about the ZDDP levels in it.
I would be curious to know if this will be a nationwide shift to a Citgo made product line, or if this will be just a regional shift.
the bottles in my area appear to be XOM because the quarts are identical to the mobil super quart design.
I noticed the different ST bottles last week when I was at WM. Some of them were the WPP bottles and some were these new Citgo bottles.
I checked yesterday. They had st oil again and they have a 'G' on the bottom

Over the past several years here in north GA, I doubt it's the Mobil 1 EP because I've found it out of stock on a recurrent basis. Rationale: less frequent sales volume of a particular product in a particular store discourages nearly immediate or even fast replenishment.
