I was wondering if anyone know who blends and packages the Motorcraft oils?

The one I am most interested in is the 15w40 they bottle for the diesels.

The "low bidder" for that particular year.  I always used WalMart "Tech200"
15W40 in my Ford PSD and Blackstone Labs (where you send your used oil
samples for testing ) said my engine was breaking/wearing in beautifully
using that oil.  They even said to "run it longer" in the engine than the
3000 miles I had been putting on it so I went to 5000 miles as they
suggested, with a new filter every time of course.

I ran across a page / document the other day (oil_bible.pdf) and the Tech200
stuff scored pretty good. I wonder who specifies that stuff for the Waltons.
I use the Tech200 marine grease at 2 bucks a tube instead 8.99 for the
Quicksilver / mercruiser brand.

I heard once that it came from Ashland Oil in Ashland Ky. Same as Valvoline.

I forgot about the Ashland guys. They probably make many of the additives
and blend the oils. I doubt it is the arabs, they can barely produce what He
gave them.
