What kind of mixed reviews? Mobil 1 is the oil used by many teams in LeMans, Daytona....etc. Also the oil of choice (their 0w40) for many, MANY high-end Euro cars.
They are the largest, and also one of the few "American" oil companies. Dating right back to Standard Oil.
One thing you will find about buying oil from the "majors" is that they often have development agreements and projects with manufacturers. This goes for CP, BP, Shell and ExxonMobil. Though Valvoline I believe has some sort of arrangement with Cummins. I think they are the only blender to have one. I could be wrong though.
Anyway:
-SOPUS has Ferrari and I believe Chrysler now.
-ExxonMobil has Honda, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Chrysler (before the BK), GM and I'm sure I'm forgetting some.
-BP has BMW, Bugatti (though they may be Mobil now)..etc
-CP has Ford
And some of these companies have "flagship" oils. For Mobil, it is their 0w40. Meets an obscene amount of Euro specs. For BP, it is the Castrol TWS 10w60, for SOPUS, likely the Pennzoil Euro 5w40.
