tru-south oil?

[joel95ex]

A couple of oil change facilities are selling "house" oil which is tru-south. I have never heard of it but searched for the site. It has limited info. Anyone hear of it and/or have any thoughts?

Here is their website. I had never heard of them before.

I am sure someone else bottles it for them. I would be a little hestiant to put that stuff in a newer car without knowing who it was.

Oops. Looks like they do their own blending and packaging. But they appear to buy the components (base stocks and additives) from others:
