AC Delco oils- Are they all Mobil Products

[Sledstorm1]

Does anyone know if all of the oils that AC Delco sells are just rebadged Mobil oils? I have heard in the past that AC Delco Dextron VI was a Castrol product.

The bottle is usually a reasonable indication. This one is obviously a Mobil product:

Think that’s older … the current bottle is P66 and looks like Kendall and others
Mobil supplies Mobil 1 for the HP vehicles and Delvac for the DMax trucks …and the HP Dexron

you can see the P66 bottle in this

There's no "t" in Dexron but I'm not sure about Dex VI.
Dex III was from Petro Canada and it was definitely good stuff.
Surely there's somebody on here from a GM plant who will let us know.

I guess Phillips66 has a star salesman in the house.

The oils used on the assembly line and sold in the dealerships may not be the same vendor, and GM cars in different countries may also use different vendors.

Within the US ExxonMobil has the contract for the GM dealer network.

Contracts are renewed every five years, but I don't recall when that contract comes up for renewal.

COP does E&P … ChevronPhillips does PAO and other … P66 does not even hydro crack to make GIII …
Betting that was low bid …

I was under the impression that Phillips 66 is a 50-50 partner with Flint Hills Resources in Excel Paralubes, which makes Group III bases, and that P66 is the sole operator of Excel Paralubes and marketer of its Pure Performance products.

ChevronPhillips does PAO and other

ChevronPhillips is (a 50-50) owned by Chevron and Phillips66

Yeah … I know people who work there but that’s not who’s filling those bottles

It’s about the Capital (Warren Buffet does not formulate oil additives)

Being it’s an oil site … I think the answer is hydro process lubes from P66

Finished, marketed products is a better name.

Okay, If you mean personally well no. He has enough sense to let his people do their job. If I'm not mistaken Berkshire Hathaway owns Lubrizol or a big chunk of it.

They market the S-Oil Bases I believe and the last I heard the Korean Made GIII was the synthetic component of the 5W-20 and 5W-30 Motorcraft.

As a matter of fact if I'm right on the base stocks in the SP GF6-A it's 60% VI 100 GII and 40% VI 123 GIII.

Did not mean to RE you since I’m not responding to Motorcraft …
But, FYI … SK is the big base oil supplier … Yubase …

Point is they hydro process II’s & III’s … and low bid that meets specs is what GM needs these days …
