I have never heard of it. Look on the back of the bottle. Sometimes they put "Bottled by Ashland" or "BP" etc.
Ashland is Valvoline and BP now owns AM/PM. HTH

I saw in another post where they make an 0/30 motor oil .
Does anyone have a link to some information on it ?

Oohhh, that's the oil that they sell at the Kroger grocery stores here on the east coast. My wife works for them and I get the pleasure of stocking her tiny little automotive section while I am there visiting.
I don't know who makes it but her store sure does sell a lot of it considering there is a cheaper K-mart right next door that has all of the name brands for much less.

I have been buying it for a while now using it in my Oldsmobile. I get it from Kroger and on all the botttles I have ever bought, if you look on the bottom it says WPP in the plastic. Which I believe is Warren Performance Products, makers of MAG 1 and some supertech and ACCEL oils. Not bad stuff. I have had no negitive effects from it so use away. Hope I was able to answer your question.
They recently started selling it in 5qt jugs. Notice the resemblance to Mobil1 jugs. I wonder if it's bottled by Mobil1? Could it be the same M1 super at a lower price?
Dunno. That doesn't look like any of the Mobil jugs from my area. Not even the old style jug. Maybe they use different jugs in Canada?
Also, and I know I'm being nit-picky here, but Mobil 1 or M1 refers specifically to Mobil's original full synthetic oil, not the Clean or Super lines. Mobil Super would be referred to as "Mobil Super", not "Mobil 1 Super"... that doesn't exist. "Mobil" is the brand name; "1", "Super", and "Clean" are product lines.
Ie: FORD (brand) MUSTANG (product line) GT (trim line. Think of that as viscosity grades)
That would translate as Mobil Super 5w-30, or Mobil 1 5w-20.
