Its true, but many companys do the same thing. An example would be Shell lubricants are made by a compant called Equiilon out of texas. This same company makes the Wal Mart brand oils.

Equilon is the company that was formed when Shell and Texaco merged. Read a bottle of Shell oil, and a bottle of Tex- the verbage is the same, only the names have been changed. The local Shell distributor deals Mobil too. They did say that Honda oils were repackaged Mobil Oils, and the Honda Oils were on the Mobil jobbers list. If HP2 is MX2T, I can't say. Suzuki oil is made by Shell (now Equilon) according to his sheets also. I think MX2T is good oil too, based on the lack of spooge, and crisp running when I tried it. I ran 32:1 with VP C-12.
