Valvoline, Joe Gibbs, Amsoil, Redline and probably many others. Different additives often come from multiple suppliers.

Does Lubrizol make additives for their entire line of oils (synthetic, blend, and conventional)? I'm asking because I'd like to try a quality full synthetic with Lurizol in it. So far I have used nothing but M1 5W-30 and PP 5W-20/10W-30, which don't use Lubrizol's add pack.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Formula Shell used Lubrizoil.???

Formula Shell and Quaker State I know for sure.

Chevron uses it's own supplier, Oronite. http://www.chevron.com/products/oronite/additive/

All of the Mobil1 additives are home grown by Mobil. IIRC, YB and PP additives are home grown by Shell. And QS (not sure about Q synthetic) use/used Lubrizol's additives.

I thought Pennzoil and Pennzoil Platinum were Lubrizol, and Quaker State was Afton...

Absolutely correct about Valvoline. Here is an excerpt from the latest Ashland Annual Report: "Additives (from key suppliers such as Lubrizol Corporation) and base oils (from key suppliers such as Motiva Enterprises LLC) constitute a large portion of the raw materials required to manufacture Valvoline’s products."

iirc, PZYB is an Infinium w/G-II+, Formula Shell is Lubrizol w/G-II.

sorry for my ignorance, but what's so special about the lubrizol additives?

 

[Badlees]

Not sure but it seems to be working.

Other way around.

PZYB uses Infinium and Afton w/G-II+.

Actually, this is a good question.

They are a board sponsor-so they have to be good additives.

I created this thread because I keep seeing the Lubrizol ad. So I wanted to try some oils with Lubrizol in it.

They are the largest additive supplier in North America. One thing good about them (other than their research) is that you can call them up (if your a customer) and tell them your using xyz base oil from xyz company and you need to blend a oil that meets xys spec, and they will send you a complete additive package.

 

[Audi Junkie]

Their web site is state-of-the-art.

 

[Johnny]

Indeed it is.

I doubt any well rounded oil blender uses additives from <u>only</u> one supplier......because none (that I know of) make ALL the additives necessary.....
