Alright people here we go. Find wal marts MSDS (material saftey data sheet)on the net, everybody most show them to the public. Here's some of the makers of it that I remember: Warren Distribution, Specialty Oil Co., Exxon/Mobile - My wal mart here is supplied by Warren Distribution (NOT warren oil) How do I know this? I e-mailed Warren Dist. and ask them if the WPP on the bottom of the bottle was them and they said yes, it stands for Warren Performance Packing NOT products. They are also the owners of Mag 1 oil which I have never heard of but I did reconize some of their other products. Would I use their dino oil in a nice car or truck no matter who made it? NO. An old beater yes. I buy the lowest priced name brand dino oil on the shelf at wal mart evey time. Kind of like when I look for a new truck, it's always a name brand like yours. However I would say the Synthetic Tech 2000 is still better than those but wouldn't push it any farther than the others just for peace of mind. At 3-4K mile changes I don't need to spend the extra money on the syn oil.
