Goodness.. probably 100 posts about this over the years...
NOT all oils are created equal. IF IF IF is has the API certification on it it is supposed to meet a MINIMUM standard. that's all. Some oils are not certified to the API standard there is NO law or regulation that they must be API certified. YOur owners manual will say to use API grade xyz however. Look at the bottle. it costs a fortune to get API certified and there are oils on the market that are NOT certified.
Each manufacturer makes what ever oil their customer wants. if wallyworld wants the cheapest junk oil they can get that's what they'll put in the bottles. If Nappa wants the super premium (they don't) then the SAME manufacturer will put that oil in their bottle. and they might put something in between in their own bottle.

an example is a ford focus versus a lincoln mkz. both are made by ford so they're the same right? they both pass the Fed motor vehicle standards they must be the same right? NO!
a JD mower made in China is the same as the ones they make in Horicon, WI right?? they're both JD's <
