At least Motul tells you where it's made in..... None of the oils sold in North america have that label. At most they'll say "bottled in America using foreign & domestic contents"

If the quality standards are upheld (ISO9001..ect) then should be fine.

The OP might remind you that more than a few Diggers died there as well.

Lots of Americans died fighting Chinese soldiers in Korea, too, and look at all the stuff we buy from there.
Then, there is WWII to deal with...

I wonder if this coincides with Motuls recent price drop.

Well, how do you classify "made in" when you are blending US, Korean, Qatar, Canadian, Mexico base oils blend together, without getting hit by a lawsuit?

Without going political, and the hindsight of how it turns out 40 years later, think of it this way:
Back in the 60s, the concern would be them blending oil for USSR instead of the Aussie. The fallen would be glad that they are finally on "our side" instead of on the Soviet side blending oil for them.

They used to "own" large swaths of SE Asia. The Dutchies know a lot of stuff about "elsewhere" ...

All just so I could pay a premium to buy a French branded oil made in Vietnam? Ok.

Also, there's the issue that Capitalism only spawned there in the late 80s, after post war Communism.
After the Vietnamese mass immigration in the 80’s many discovered our capitalism and the word got back to the people at home. It was that kind of information sharing that happened before the Internet took over. Plus, money was sent back as well from business owners and those with good paying jobs.
A bit of a end run so to speak.
