[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1625379, member: 27848"] While we are: :deadhorse: There is a major petroleum supplier in the US that packages products for name brand big box stores and such. I am not intimate with the company but have used their products, their name on the container as to source of the product, and they have performed for me. Speculating: In comes an order from 3 large retail customers with requests for this and that. Take Premium THD fluid. Does this company have half a dozen vats full of oil with different additive packages and oil qualities, maybe like different viscosities or such? I doubt that would be economically efficient. My guess is one of two things happen: Maybe a couple of vats of different viscosities and bags of additives on the shelf which are added as the order comes in to suit the customer's specs. Or, they canvass the specs from a group of OEM equipment mfgrs. come up with a formula to meet or exceed the worst (most comprehensive) of these specs and that's what in their vats. Order comes in, grab a suitably sized black container off the shelf, fill it with the "house brand premium fluid", slap the customer's label on the jug and out the door. Who knows! On my success with fluids, no doubt my usage is a benign environment so what I say is meaningless for those who make their living and depend on their equipment to perform 100% of the time on a daily basis...... somewhere I saw a picture of a Branson tractor in a rice field in S. Korea. You wouldn't believe the environment, up to it's 4wd axles with rice tires in the mud, and apparently this is what they endure on a daily basis. No way do mine see that kind of (necessary) abuse. [/QUOTE]
