Yeh, right. Mobil might not be a manufacturer of oil. Read the papers, guys. Exxon/Mobil is, if I'm not mistaken, the biggest in the world these days. Castrol is now part of BP Amoco (probably #3 behind Exxon/Mobil and Shell - at least that's my guess). Amsoil a manufacturer? Right. Manufacturer of marketing supplies and a repackager of other people's products with some "proprietary" additives tossed in.
