Default Mobile 1vtwin at Walmart

I just purchased some Mobil 1 vtwin from Walmart for a fluid change. When I got home I noticed some containers had a black label and others a blue label. The blue label was 9.54 the black label was 10.23. What's the difference if any? They have them stocked in two different places, black label over in speciality oils and the blue label over in the motorcycle oils. They also have a different upc codes.

Looks like one has a Spanish label and the other is Anglo.

I just bought two cases online from Walmart. I compared the containers to oil I bought from Summit Racing. Both had the same containers as the ones on the left in your photo. When I tried throwing away the empty containers after a recent oil change, the containers jumped out of the trash can and ran into the woods while yelling, “Adios pendejo!”

The one on the right was made in the good old U.S.A.

Castrol did something similar on GTX and MC oil, black caps on some, red caps on some.

I think they did it just to make us wonder why they did it....
