I think the PQIA tested it and it looked good on paper, probably a Valvoline or Castrol product due to the sodium used in the add pack.

I think the test was on SM oil though, could have changed for SN versions.

It is SN and GF5 so it meets today specs. Can't see any reason not to trust it. I would suspect it to be made by Valvoline since all there advertisements and videos always use Valvoline products in them.

WPP or some have said its CITGO as of now, not certain.
it is blended by warren distribution. every vehicle i have run it in has run very smooth and quiet. it should be the same formulation as warren's accel brand oil. this goes for both conventional and synthetic. peak or mag 1 would be the step-up oil.

Pure conjecture.. Do you have any facts to support your tiered product theory? When I was at AZ the other day, WPP was not making the oil they had on the shelf.

I've noticed that mindset too. Not every store brand is "made by Warren". I don't think AAP's or O'Reilly's house brands are either.

I've noticed a lot of off brand / house brand oils switching to oils blended by JD Streett. Look for JDS on the bottom of the bottle, or often a St. Louis address will be on the bottle.
I thought AZ oil was Warren Unilube?

I wouldn't be so sure of that.
There's a reason we have Consumer Affairs.

Really?!? In this day and age? - When anyone and everyone can go online and complain about anything ranging from a "off tasting" ice cream cone to why "I didn't like the plumbing work done on my house because I saw too much of the plumber's but crack? Word gets spread around at LIGHTNING speed these days. Corporations are all too aware of that.
Nice try tho...

Ok. Nice Website. So what? Virtually NOBODY is going to sift thru this website.
Bottom line is we live in the information age. This website is a great example of it.
Manufacturers, companies, developers, etc, etc... can't do what they've done in the past and get away with it in this day and age....
Again, let it be said again. Buy with confidence. Amen. NEXT!!!!

I didn't think we went off topic. Bottom line - none of us should be worried about what we grab from the shelf - even if we were blind. Lol.
Glad that we could go back and forth in a civil manner.
