I agree with Joe. If you think an oil company would import a batch of Victa 2 strokes to its American engineering lab so they could test their lubrication needs (along with the needs of a multitude of other odd local engines made everywhere from Russia to Brazil), then you and I have very different ideas of what it is economically feasible for an oil company to do.

Decisions on whether to put the Victa brand on a flask of oil or a sprinkler, or the Holden Racing Team logo on a red and white jacket, are made by the merchandising department, not the engineering department. They are made for logical business reasons, and they rely on the supplier of the merchandised product to know its business.
