O'Reilly house brand oil...

[csandste]

I clipped this from the filter thread, thought there might be more answers here.

(from Motorguy) The O'Reilly house brand of oil is made by 2 companies,most is made by Omni Industries of Shreveport LA and the rest is from Warren Distribution(WPP).

Warren Dist. makes Super Tech oil for Wal-mart.

(my question on the filter thread)

Is Omni Industries the old Specialty Petroleum plant (bought by QS) that used to be the provider for pre-SL SuperTech? I thought they closed the plant because it was strictly Group I. Did someone else take it over?
