I am not jumping on him I am stating a simple fact. One I will agree that there is a base oil that most use and there are diffrent additives that are added to the base to make diffrent blends. Two testing is done to each and every blend to make sure they are concistant with the oils formula. Each blend is given a lot# so it can be tracked so they know what day, year shift even the hour it was bottled and plant # so it can be tracked. Testing is done hourly to check for fill (volumetric) any FM and it meets specks. Most if not all oil companys are ISO 9001 or 10001. I use to work at a bottling plant and know about the checks that have to be done by the company for there records and the goverment(Local State and Federal) because it was my job. Nobody wants to put out product that is bad and loose alot of money to recall it and pay damages. I know alittle about this too. Bandit
