Check the J-D MSDS site http://eservice.msds.com/servlet/SSMain - according to that, the 0w-40 is made by Esso Canada. I've got a couple hundred hours on it in some J-D/Yanmar equipment, and it seems to be pretty good stuff.

Here's a VOA: John Deere Supreme "Plus 50" 0W-40 - Bob Is The Oil Guy and a UOA : J-D 0W-40 Semi-Syn. (24 HP Yanmar Diesel) - Bob Is The Oil Guy

The Zinc/Phosphorous numbers are really up there, so I'd be careful if using it in anything post-'07 with catalytic converters. Other than that, it should be a great fit for a pile of applications. I stock up on it every time the J-D guy has a sale.
