Aren't motor oils all made by just a couple of companies? Like, Amazon Basics and Walmart's Supertech and a bunch of the more expensive name brands all say "Manufactured by Warren Distribution, Inc." on the back?

Yes. There are a limited number of producers for crude oil and even some of the end product brand names are the exact same thing. Chevron / Texaco are the same thing. O'Reilly's Auto house brand motor oil is Chevron DELO 400.

Considering the cost of petroleum refineries, I'd say that's likely. It's not like you can just buy a turn-key refinery, they cost hundreds of millions to build, and millions to maintain.
