Packaging.
XOM has the angular, Star Wars looking containers.
WPP is curved.
This is because other EXOM products *the M1 0W-40 jugs as a prime example) tend to resemble the XOM ST jugs. WPP has curvature and its quart bottles have the cap in the center, whereas XOM quarts are still the widemouth angular.
I could verify through the markings but i know how the packaging looks so i dont.
Also, XOM infers "Mobil" whereas WPP infers "dated packaging" o i dont see how a lesser producer, though good, could perhaps be "better" than XOM. XOM seems to be in more stores too.
EDIT:
See the difference
XOM
Notice the bottles and tiny caps for quarts, shape for jugs.
WPP
WPP ST is good i simply think XOM is better and i would seek it out over WPP, the prime reason being manufacture of 5W-20 grade. XOM makes 5W-20 i have NEVER seen 5W-20 WPP/WNE jug, that makes me seek XOM ST. It is a good oil and i would run it in a car.
