Pros and cons of this oil video

I like to watch Project Farms and feel this guy likes to test and tell it like it is.
Watch the video and give your opinion on the oils tested.

Interesting. When he first put them in the test tubes, the Valvoline looked lower quality. I think I'll be using the Amazon next time. It also has the + rating, which he said was better for our turbocharged DI engines.

Thanks for sharing.

I've heard about this before. Colorado forum has discussed it and many owners are stating they are changing to Amazon. Several are already using it. Actually even the Corvette forum has discussed this. A few indicated they may change but, Corvette owners, for the most part, are a different breed. Mostly they believe the marketing pitch for the "designer" oils. So that's a hard group to convince.

As for me, I'll wait awhile. I probably need more professional testing results than some guy in his garage..

Be curious as to who is making the oil for Amazon. I too have heard & read of this oil on different forum.

You could send the oil you use to an oil lab for testing before and after and do the same with the Amazon oil.
Look up on Goggle "Oil test labs near me".

True Sleeper, Amazon is just using their label on a known product from someone else.
I myself would like to know also.
On the back of the Amazon container it says:
Manufactured by Warren Distribution, Inc.
950 10th street, Suite 300
Omaha, Nebraska 68108 - 3296
(800) 825 - 1235
Manufactured in USA

That could be a starting point.

That's what I intend to do.
I thought somebody else would include their 2 cents and do it also.
That's why I posted the info.
