IH does not make its own oil.Case does not have any refineries or oil wells.Thus,all petroleum that Case,IH,JD,Kubota,NAPA,Car Quest,Wal Mart,Pep Boys,Advance,GM,Ford,Chrysler,Harley Davidson,Honda,Suzuki,Yamaha....etc...etc sells is made by someone else.You never know who,because as Wal Mart does,the contracts are re negoiated almost yearly.If one blender doesnt meet their price requirements,they will switch suppliers.Harley oil is made by Quaker State,as is GM oil.Parts Plus oil is blended by Amalie.Wal Mart uses a packaging company not a major oil producer.So,who makes IH oil? Can you not guarantee its not the same stuff as the $1.75 oil down at the parts store? You cant.If you only go by the API ratings,almost any oil will meet the same specs.It doesnt tell the whole story. If an oil is blended without seal swell additives,you can get leaks.Usually only the cheapest stuff is lacking some of the essentials.But thats rare today.
