If Tom's just re badge the Blitz throttle controller and sell it for something like $200 more then would it not be a fair assumption they just empty a brand name oil into their own can.

I don't think Tom's makes any oil... Tom's oils are more likely packaged by other oil manufacturer. Also check out HKS oils if you want to be JDM-hardcore. HKS has full lines of fluids; from M/T to A/T fluids, coolant antifreeze to brake fluids and racing fluids...

I guess it would take $$,$$$,$$$ to start an oil company; a racing-parts-house just can't afford to produce its own oil.

Just like Toyota put components together into cars but Toyota does not make tires, spark plugs, brake pads.... and so on.

My opinion only~~
