Kenworth is Delo. Bought the ones I run at work have Cummins engines.Shell told me ram 1500 and some others they use for factory fill. Cummins is probably Valvoline.

Reading comprehention must be difficult for you to master when you confuse the word "pasibly" with "posibly", along with the general meaning of a basic sentence.You even write like Yoda. You’re all over the place.
Not mine. It was a Subaru Japan recommended option in the FA20DIT as well as other gasoline engines.Tell it to
Bluesubie. That was their impression
All Mobil 1 oils are full syntheticAnyone know what GM is using for their 5.3/ 6.2 engines for factory fill recently? I suspect Mobil 1 synthetic blend.
It is used to indicate “doubt.” Do you know what it means? Based on your comment, you DON’T.Reading comprehention must be difficult for you to master when you confuse the word "pasibly" with "posibly", along with the general meaning of a basic sentence.
Maybe they just put the Valvoline in the 2500 & 3500's. Are you saying the Kenworth with Cummins engines came factory filled with Delo?Kenworth is Delo. Bought the ones I run at work have Cummins engines.
BMW switched from Castrol to Shell back in 2015, then back to Castrol in 2021, but only in North America.... BMW switched from Castrol to Shell fairly recently.

The average car on the road in the US is 12.5 years old. So I agree with your premise. And I'd also offer my view that 99% of oil related failures in cars are due to LACK of oil rather than incorrect oil. As our company cars used to be labeled back in the 60s: "check oil every fill-up".You guys and your "Manufacturereses only cares about going past that pesky 5-60 powertrain warranties" absolutely kill me. I bet there are millions more vehicles on the road with 75k miles than there are vehicles with under 75k miles. I'm also willing to bet 90% of those over 75k have been run on either oil you can purchase at walmart or from a bulk blender and that millions more have rotted away around powertrains still capable of turning more miles on that cheap nasty unremarkable camelpee not-special brew.
BUT mah Ford/Chrysler/Audi/VW/Subaru/Toyota/Hyundai/Kia/GM NEEDS 20$ per quart Gobblewobble 50K or it will GRENADE. I beat planned obsolescence you SOPUS shills!

EDIT - Yes, there are applications where Gobblewobble 50k IS appropriate. Bob and Belinda Beater don't NEED it.
Not necessarily. Dealers of all brands often use whichever bulk oil they can get that meets the spec as cheaply as possible, regardless of which brand (or Genuine oil) the manufacturer recommends.Any BMW getting serviced in North America will get Castrol produced oil.

Dealerships certainly can, and worth asking, but that should not be the norm. While it is up to each car manufacturer to enforce, it is required in their contract agreements that dealerships follow prescribed policies and procedures. Most of my experience is with BMW and Ferrari and I am friendly with several technicians, ...some I call friends. And those brands appear very strict with the dealerships.Not necessarily.

Subaru uses Idemitsu oil as it’s factory fill and what’s labeled on their “Subaru motor oil “On Castrol's site they proudly list being partnered with the following OEMs (https://www.castrol.com/en_us/unite...er-with-castrol/castrol-oem-partnerships.html):
Honda
Volvo
Ford
Jaguar
Land Rover
Renault/Nissan
Subaru
Toyota is tied to Exxon-Mobil and BMW switched from Castrol to Shell fairly recently.
What are the other OEM partnerships?

I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but Subaru Japan has worked with Castrol. Even though the post title mentions factory fill the linked web site and original post refers to "partnerships". We may have to subtract points from @cheesepuffs2 for that.Subaru uses Idemitsu oil as it’s factory fill and what’s labeled on their “Subaru motor oil “
As one who has worked in Subaru dealerships I never saw castrol being used always it was always Idemitsu oil.I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but Subaru Japan has worked with Castrol.

Subaru dealerships in Japan? I am not claiming that Subaru does not have a partnership with Idemitsu. I know that Idemitsu makes Subaru's factory fill, as well as the dealer service fill, but Subaru Japan has partnerships with multiple oil companies including Castrol and Total.As one who has worked in Subaru dealerships I never saw castrol being used always it was always Idemitsu oil.
