That brand is not my flavor of choice. Most likely I received it free with
purchase of some quantity of oil.

I forgot to mention, the oil pressure gauge never showed any problem so
hopefully it was not  dangerously low. But then again, I did not suspect any
problem  so I was not focused on it either.
