Who makes Advance Auto Oil?

[thooks]

I see some have figured out who makes Wal-Mart's oil.

Who's oil is in the Advance Auto Parts bottles?

The package says "Compare to Havoline". I would think that it is not Havoline in there.

I've got it dumped in my 1995 Accord 4cyl and I think I've got about 1,000 miles on it so far and it's clear as honey still.

Does it have a 'WPP' symbol on the bottom of the bottle?

Thanks BigOil. Guess I should have done a search.

Reason I asked is that I've got 4-1/2 quarts in my 11 year old Accord with 138K on the odo and it looks good.

Of course, I have spent about $80 in MMO and oil and filters during the last 5,000 miles trying to get the engine cleaned out.

I've thought about doing a UOA on this and see what they say.

Thanks again for the link.

I thought this one had been discussed and it was Coastal Unilube that provides the oil for Advance. I Could be wrong though.
