Message	Esso lubricants distrubutor. You might try ExxonMobil website and see what distributors are in your area. And I could care less about the 'Euro' branding, it has more to do with what was discussed above and my experience with the product. If I find a better product, I'll switch happily. Biggest problem with the stuff is price and availability. Just because Wallyworld stocks Mobil products doesn't mean they carry everything.
