Is this a trick question ?
Yes, it's the same ... but the bottles may have a unique SKU bar code for Walmart, and that might throw someone off. I called Valvoline and verified that when I saw the SKU was different for Valvoline at Walmart. But Valvoline said it was the same exact oil.

It's not the same oil. How could the oil be at Walmart and Autozone at the same time? Time travel?

The cheapest way to manufacturer oil is to sell one blend to everyone and don't kid yourself Walmart makes money on oil.
Not on the mistake giveaways of course but retail oil is way overpriced.

So, technically, yes.
Same oil.
Different package.
The OP question was “is it the same oil”, not “is it the same packaging”
Yes no company would risk destroying their sales for a few pennies.It's all the same.
Actually what you read on the Internet is that it is the same. The dude asking the question here doesn’t know what he’s talking about but the answer is still the same:You're acting like facts or proof will convince people

The formulation and quality level of our motor oils are the same wherever the product name is the same, regardless of the package size in which it is sold.

Alternate universe, baby! Maybe some kinda cat in a box thing?
That would be the Everett interpretation or many worlds. The cat in the box is Schrödinger's cat. But no worries, it was a thought experiment, no actual cat was ever actually alive and dead at the same time.

I'm not a fan of the Everett interpretation. While it might explain superposition and entanglement, it creates an even bigger problem with an infinite number of alternate universes being created. It's worse than a Rube Goldberg device, solves one problem but there's a much bigger problem that's created with the solution. Still it seems popular though.

I've done UOAs on oil purchased from Walmart and from other places. The results all seem to be the same.
Sorry, that was sarcasm.... Besides, I can most certainly find claims on the internet that it's the same oil just as well as I can find claims that it's not the same oil.

By the manufacturer who knows what they are taking about? Or by idiots that also see Bigfoot?
Consider the source, something that’s generally lacking on here.
In my experience, many times the BIG BOX stores will carry the identical products but they will have a special SKU or Scantron type numbers specific for their store. The product may be the same but different scantron numbers prevent "price matching" since the "price matching" is always for the "same product."
I highly doubt oil formulas would be altered just for one retailer. The effort would probably negate any price savings.
