At work, I notice the drums of oil that were labeled Amsoil are now labeled Severus Oil. They are from Superior, Wisconsin as is Amsoil. Would anyone know if Severus is a product of Amsoil or a subsidiary of Amsoil? According to Severus web site, it is for jobbers and fleet use and they only offer synthetic products.

This is the first I've heard of this! It looks like Amsoil. Interesting!
Professor Snape has an oil company???
If it doesn't say Amsoil then it is very probably not.
In the Corporate Information section of their web site they mention a parent company but do not identify it. To be more specific, the 15w40 oil used at work still comes in drums marked Amsoil but the 5w30 oil is in drums marked Severus. Tomorrow I'll have to look at the ATF drums to see what they are marked.
He is kind of oily and greasy looking.
I mean the name IS funky.

Severus is another Amsoil brandname. I'm guessing out from under the MLM umbrella?

Looks like a similar (if not the same) product line, msds's show a amsoil product code.

I see says the blind man. Thank you wileyE.
This from up the food chain:
I found out a lot about Severus on Thursday. It's not a threat at all to the dealer network. Very specific niche. It's also interesting to know that, yes Amsoil makes oils for OEM's. Top end companies. Don't ask me, because I can not, nor would I ever tell.
Doube-Super-Secret Sever Us from the MLM...
Not like that at all. I think the major surprise is how long it's been around. Longer than 5 years. At least one OEM oil has been discussed here in the past.
They couldn't come up with something better than Severus. C'mon that would make one a little suspicious wouldn't it. I found out I could have this stuff bottled and put my company or my name on it if I liked. Then I could sell it at my dealership cheaper than Amsoil dealers.
It would be so easy for one to have their name on the container. One could then market it to major product movers such as... Well you know who I mean. It would be pretty easy for someone to "let the cat out of the bag".
If I knew a product was Amsoil with a different name on the bottle and was cheaper than buying from a dealer than I would give it a look. I think Al or an accoutant recommended this branch be created during a time when dealer performance wasn't as good as expected. I saw 1996 somewhere on the website.

I suppose - but I'm not sure how much you would clear after you did all your marketing, bought the bottling equipment, etc.
Besides - Amsoil is fairly careful who they sell it to. Known firms, with solid backgrounds that are NOT in the oil business.

Well, if the Amsoil guys are ok with it...then I don't know why I am worried about it. I am just a PC. Maybe this offshoot allows AL a way of getting better wholesale prices on basestocks.
