How much are they getting paid?
OK maybe it is the other way around. Mobil was the least expensive oil to GM could find to purchase and vis versa for FCA?????
Neither. Mobil and GM have a partnership, just like FCA and SOPUS have a partnership. This means they work together to develop lubricants and perform lubricant testing and then the OEM will recommend their partner's product, which in turn increases their partner's sales. It's beneficial for both parties. Mobil has a similar relationship with Porsche, Mercedes AMG and a few other marques. BMW and Castrol used to have something similar but that's now changed to SOPUS.
