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.

Looking at the specs and by price it has to be Chevron/Havoline. It is a group 2 at about$.59 qrt here in Mn at Checker Auto (with rebate and coupon)
