I think the stuff I got is legit and I've never thought that the Mobil 1 I got from Walmart was not the same as I'd get from anywhere else. Packaging is different now (for a long time I think it was the same?). https://community.cartalk.com/t/upda...t-thread/81034
Yeah, it's not like a Sales/Marketing person never told a lie to their customer.

Mobil 1 has one product performance sheet for 0W-40 in the US (and one MSDS I believe). So while I'm sure they have some variation from run-to-run, I doubt they deliberately increase the cost of oil they sell to Walmart.
