Pennzoil Quaker State and Shell are the same company. They manufacture their synthetic oil from natural gas.

Use Mobil 1 on your next oil change, support American oil. Valvoline is ok as well.

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.

Plus 10% off the top for "The Big Guy"

Mobil is cucked too. I would recommend Amsoil, I think their base oil is from Mobil, but all oil is from gigacorps.

Amsoil is awesome but their prices jumped during all this shit to even more. I run it in my 97 civic because the only prior owner has had it in for the first 25 years before I bought it. He also took it to my friend's shop so I have all the records! My Chevy truck gets regular oil, don't really care what kind as long as it gets changed.

They're trying to cuck Mobil, but the chairman is a White, God fearing Christian Man.

Mobil1 synthetic is the best oil ever made imho.

I didn't believe in it until my Mobil 1 fan boy friend had me tear down his "always ran M1" 120K motor to refresh it. He daily drives it as well a runs it at the drag strip 2x a month as well.

The cylinder cross hatch was not only visible but looked brand new/freshly honed. The bearings were hardly worn. I was shocked and converted myself to a M1 fan boy for gasoline engines at that moment.

Valvoline is my 2nd, but still high preference, choice for engine oil, and #1 for trans, gear, etc.

I run amsoil in my diesels, I've just never personally run it in my gassers.

The new GF6 oils are pretty damn good, I know what kind of testing oil companies use, I know what the minimum standards are, and the new oils are heads and shoulders above what we had just 5 or 6 years ago.
