Redline doesn't make their own basestock. Don't know about Motul or NEO.

Motul manufacturers their own Diesters, but they are a blender like anyone else. Torco purchases their esters, Redline uses POE's, Fuchs Silkolene is diester and they manufacture their diesters as well, and NEO. XOM makes their own esters and use them as seal swell additives in the Mobil1 line, they also use some AN which is G5. If you want to know what oils use some amount of G5 then that's going to be abig list, but the ones mentioned before the M1 comment are all the G5 base oil brands I can think of.
