Mazda's motor oil also uses Idemitsu's blends. Have done so ever since their Le Mans outings in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Total Energies oil for mazda.

Warren, who makes Wally world and Costco oil isn't a cheap knock off oil and is perfectly fine to use

Depends on the market. Castrol in the west, there is no mistery

Not Phillips 66???

[@Resistculturaldecline]

Last I checked it was Conoco. Probably so for North American built engines, and Idemitsu for Asian built.
