You are right--at least for the gear oils. I've verified that the sku numbers for MAG1 and SuperTech gear oils are identical. No reason to think when it comes to motor oils and ATFs Warren would blend up something different for Wal-Mart. I'm sure their MAG1 and SuperTech stuff is the same across the board.

Warren Oil company is just a marketing company. They get oil and other fluids from the big oil companies and bottle it and stick a label on it. You can have a label printed up with, "Joe Bob's Magic oil" or "Mother Moby's Good Time oil", but the oil inside the bottle is Shell or Exxon oil or some other company. The advertising is what makes the oil cost so high in name brands (...when is the last time you saw a NASCAR or SPRINT car with "Super Tech Oil" on it?
Their Mission statement (from their website)
"..Warren Oil Company, Inc. is dedicated in providing quality private labels and all major brand lubricants to our valued clients. In addition, we offer our clients an economical way to take advantage of all their oil and lubricants needs, while offering one hundred percent satisfaction with our service..."

A lot people think it's an oil company like Exxon, BP or Ashland Oil (Valvoline) but it's a company that the BIG oil companys send oil to them to sell cheaper, but the BIG oil companys still make a profit on this.
