The Havoline you used since '99 was made by Equilon, a joint venture between Shell, Texaco, and (I think) Saudi Aramco. The current Havoline is made by ChevronTexaco. Both are probably on the better side of average oils, and I don't know if it's the same oil...in fact it is different oil (as are all the others) due to the change from API-SJ to API-SL in 2002.
