Dealer's different motor oils
What's the deal with dealers using different brands of motor oil? The dealer I bought my car from is about 30 minutes away and they use the oil I prefer- Castrol. But the closest Acura dealer from me (10 min) uses Unocal motor oil. WTF?
One would assume all the dealers would use the same brand, but they don't. Any ideas why?

Motor oils.
My dealer Rallye Acura uses Quaker State 5w-30. Had my oil changed yesterday. Next oil change - Mobil 1 5w-30 and Purolator PureOne oil filter at 12000 miles.
