Amazon Basics Full Synthetic Motor Oil - 0W-20 - 5 Quart, 160 fl oz (Pack of 1)

I have been a fan of Mobil 1 oil (such as the Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W-20 Full Synthetic , and for previous vehicles used Mobil 1 0W-40 Full Synthetic for years. That is a great fully synthetic motor oil, but it is pricey even when you get a good deal on it. Alternatively, I have used the Genuine Subaru SOA427V1315 Motor Oil , but only on my 2018 Subaru Outback which is still under warranty. The Subaru oil is expensive - both at the dealer and on Amazon - and comes in 1 gallon (4 qt.) container which is too small. When I saw that AmazonBasics came out with an equivalent, I was excited to give it a try. I did some research and found that this oil has all of the approvals (dexos1 Gen 2, API SN, ILSAC GF-5, etc.) that you would expect from a full-synthetic motor oil. So far I have used this oil for two changes on my 2013 Subaru Forester. That vehicle takes just over 5 qt. of motor oil, which makes life really simple! All I do is empty the entire 5 qt. container in through the funnel and then check the level after driving off the ramps. If it is low, I crack into one of the single quart bottles. I have yet to notice any difference in driving, noise, power or fuel economy. I highly recommend this oil, as it is a great product at the lowest price - a win-win! My only gripe is that they do not (yet) offer this as a Subscribe-and-Save product.

This oil is manufactured be Warren oil. They also make Walmart's brand. It is the very same oil. Lab testing shows that this oil is so close to Mobile One it is indiscernible. It really does not make sense to pay over $10 more for a brand name. I did notice that the Walmart version has two, one rated for 10,000 and another rated for 20,000 miles. Amazon does not give any mileage rating, however, Amazons price is the same as Walmarts price for the 20,000 mile version. I am obsessive about oil chg intervals so I change mine every 2500 miles or 3months which ever comes first. I know 2500 miles is quite unnecessary, but I do it anyway. My Mazda 3 is almost ten yrs old and everything still works. I absolutely have not had any problems of any kind with this vehicle and it still runs like when it was new. Totally recommend this motor oil.

Quality product, fast shipping and satisfied customer!

Got. this back in 2020 and it was a bargain. Not sure if it's still around. This oil had a better service rating than most other oils. I used this oil more than once and it worked great.

Good price worked wel lWould buy again

Almost unbelievable price for 6qts of full synthetic, Dexos compliant 5w-30 oil. I buy fleet cases of filters and can now do my own oil changes for $25 in about 15 minutes. Absolutely no reason not to change the oil every 3k miles (oil life on car's computer usually at 25% remaining at 3k). Think about that for a minute. If I keep my car for 100,000 miles/10 years, the difference between 3k (33 changes) and 4k (25 changes) oil change intervals is 8 changes (+$200 total or +$20/year). Amazon, please offer synthetic 20w-50 at this price point!!! Edit: after running for 3,000 miles on my regular oil change interval I'm even more impressed with this oil. Engine ran perfectly and did not consume a measurable amount of oil. Drain oil was brown and not black and still very slick feeling. The real proof was on the magnetic drain plug and bottom of the oil drain pan. Nothing metallic. Almost unbelievably clean. As the person who has done over a dozen oil changes on this vehicle and specifically looks for these sorts of things this is very impressive. This oil could have easily gone 1,000-2,000 more miles. Again, at this price, no need to though. Edit #2: unfortunately Amazon has raised the price considerably (50%+) since posting original review. It's still a good value but no longer a great value.

Works as described

I normally use Mobil 1 full synthetic 5W 20 in my car. After seeing a review on youtube about this oil, I figured I would try it myself. Every other oil change, I send a sample to Blackstone-Labs in Ft. Wayne, IN for an analysis. The Mobile 1 with a Mobil 1 filter always comes back with a great analysis report. I did an oil change with Amazon Basics full synthetic and a Mobil 1 filter and sent an oil sample to Blackstone-Labs. Same thing, great report except a trace amount of fuel in the oil. This could be because of excessive idle time and has nothing to do with the Amazon Basics oil. I don't change my oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles either. I go by when the computer on the car tells me it's time to change the oil or when I get down to 3% oil life remaining. I put 9,868 miles on the Amazon Basics oil and it was still good. Todays oils are so much better than they were just a few years ago. The only way to tell if the oil you are using is good or bad is by doing an oil analysis. This will also let you know more about what is going on inside your engine, like, a leaky fuel injector(s) , antifreeze in your coolant, cylinder and bearing wear, viscosity, and if the filter you are using is working properly. The Amazon Basics is a little cheaper than Mobil 1 and I don't have to drive to town to get it.
