Amazon Now Selling Its Own Motor Oil

[BigPoppa]

Apparently, Amazon is now selling motor oil under it's own Amazon Basics brandless brand.

I just checked and a 5qt container of full synthetic 5w-20 is $16.78.

I imagine it isnt crap either. Very tempted to Guinea pig this....

I wonder who is making it for them?

Exactly. We'll find out soon enough!

Warren makes it for them, same place that bottles WalMart's house brand. Multiple people on www.bobistheoilguy.com have run VOAs on the various weights and it is a decent oil.

I imagine it is very similar to Wal-Mart Super-Tec.

This is a pretty good deal:

Hmmm...

Sounds like a good SVTP comparison article. Get various no-name oils and have oil samples done and compare them to some name brand offerings.

I was thinking the same thing. I have high hopes for Dollar Store oil:

YES

Would run in my 4runner and maybe lawnmower. Not sure on the 4runner... If the 0w20 tests good and it is extended mileage (8K minimum) then I may consider.

Stop running 20w oil. Pour in some 15w40, like a real man.

I just looked up comparisons of the 0W20 and compared it to Amsoil Signature 0W20 in an independant test. I will be going with Amazon Basics.

Lucky for me, the 1GR-FE Dual-VVT-i, in its current form, has been out since 2010 MY. And a lot of testing has been done with different oils. Overwhelming consensus is the stick with 0W20.

It does look like Amsoil still has a much better NOACK than Amazon in the 5w/20 flavor.
