It's the old Idemitsu stuff. I believe the black bottle is the new ConocoPhilips version.

Thank you. Any opinions on how it compares to the new honda 0w-20 OILS from cop....or even mobil 1 0w-20. My car ...2012 civic 1.8...specs this weight. I can get the idemitsu for approx 5 bucks per quart delivered in case qty. Wondering if I should stock up.

The Idemitsu (and newer CP) is excellent. I would not hesitate to use it, especially at $5/qt.

Yes it appears to be the Idemitsu oil that you're using (it certainly looks like an Idemitsu bottle).
So the VOA is shown above, and I'm running the same oil in one of my cars.

IMO it is clearly superior to the COP oil that Honda USA is now using. The reason is it's 200 VI vs only 172 IIRC for the COP version plus the COP oil contains no moly or even TI.
I also believe it is superior to Mobil 1 0W-20 for the same much the same reasons.

I can tell you it is a robust oil, heavier than the Toyota Brand OW-20 which is the only other readily available high VI moly 0W-20 oil in NA.

What about the Subaru oil?

Made by Idemitsu.
Should be the same as the OP's oil and what I'm running.
