While the company (Idemitsu) is Japanese they have a manufacturing and packaging plant in Jacksonville Indiana. That is where the Honda and Toyota oils are made.
Yes they both contain a boat load of moly but what really impressed me is the incredibly high viscosity index (over 200)
these oils have. This is industry leading stuff which trumps every other oil made in the world and you can get it at your local Honda,Toyota or Lexus dealer throughout NA (may have to call first as not every dealer stock it yet and may have to order it in).
