Amazon Basics Oil???
 

Has anyone used Amazon’s new branded oil? I’ve read that it’s from the distributor Warren that makes a lot of other oils as well. It’s advertised as “European Formula”, just not sure if I trust it to put in my baby (‘03 986 with 130k miles)?

AmazonBasics Full Synthetic Motor Oil - Euro Formula for Turbo-Charged Vehicles (API SN, A3/B4) - 0W-40 - 5 Quart https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CG364QJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DhSbCbYC5548R

OK I'll bite
What's there to think about. It's almost $5 cheaper than Mobil 1 from Wally world.
I could save $10 a year at that rate, that's almost 2 Starbucks coffees

I can't wait for Amazon to start branding and selling Milk and bread. No more late night or before snow storm running out to the store

I'll put this in my body:

...but for my cars, I'm pretty much convinced that Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 is the best balance of quality, price, and additive package. Currently only $19.97 at the Wally'.

mmmmmm Olive Oil. I wonder if it meets the Porsche A40 Standard.

That's mean he only asked for advice. You can put any oil in these engines just as long as it's synthetic oil.

Why take a risk on unbranded oil? Just buy Mobil1 and be done with it.

For further reading I often go to BITOG. Here's what I'm looking through now:

...and no, All synthetic oil is not the same.

Edit again: I haven't found a VOA of it yet, and that's what I'd like to see before I'd use it, rather than a bunch of tribal opinions.

I put AMSOIL in mine same thing just as good.

I have been using Rotella T6 for more than a decade, started with Saab turbos then Boxster. Higher zinc content to protect bearings, great value and never had any issues.
