He said he just came from a chevron facility to fill his tanker and now into the station I was at. Cool part tho is he stated that costco is chevron gas and you can save more if i was a member.

Has anyone else heard or seen a chevron truck at costco? Kirkland signiture is always quality, just sucks they can't release the manufacturer of a particular item cause im sure it will hurt their own company sales.
Costco advertises their gas as "Top Tier", whether or not that's true, who knows. All I know is Costco has never let me down with low quality products, they always carry high quality stuff especially when it bares the Kirkland name. No hesitations from me.

Yea definately kirkland is legit tho the brand name sucks. Just wondering if anyone else heard costco is chevron.

M4 says shell recommended as well. Shell probably made them add that during your business arrangement lol . Businesses dumb down simple tasks so they don't get sued and from partnerships with other brands. You will see once you get your car delievered!

Yeah BMW will recommend shell because of the contract they have with shell. They also recommend the shell oil. Same reason why they recommend Castrol, because of the contract.

If arco is on top tier, whats the lower? Must be for other countries i rarely seen if any brands other than those on the list in usa.

Its so weird that brands don't have to release such information as outsourced or who its from. Also how they provide the other brands other than themselves with leftovers or less than perfect products.

Capitalism at its finest, the top companies all merge to be one huge conglomerate lol.

Yes Shell is in contract with BMW. Thats why you see a yellow M6 in a Pennzoil commerical.
I think BMW ended contract with Castro.
I never went to Arco.. In my state, Arco is one of the cheapest gas station out here. Does that mean it sells low quality gas? I see Shell and Chevron as equal tiers.
