    Would expect it to say who made it but maybe it does not. It should have a military spec on it as should what ever oil is being used in your truck when serviced. That spec number means that oil is compatable with any other oil sharing that spec number. As long as that meets your manufactures requirements you should be good.
    Personally do not like mixing them up but have seen some people buy what was on sale with good results.
