So, it is a private label product made by them for Amazon.
Good to know.

Don't think for an instant that Amazon wouldn't jump to another source without telling anyone if the profit margin were correct. That new source might be a completely different product in the exact same packaging.

I guess when the bottle arrives, you'd have to look at it.

It's Dexos approved. It's Dexos approved.
I use a store brand full synthetic that I believe is also made by Warren. On sale It's generally $2.69 a quart. No one's ever been able to explain to me how the expensive stuff is better. I would not hesitate to use the Amazon oil.

Look up on Goggle "Oil test labs near me".
I've been doing that for years....probably since 1990.Use Blackstone Labs because I had a personal relationship with them. Best part is ALL the different oils and filters
I used displayed excellent results.

Edit....should add a correction to my last statement. Analysis on 2 vehicles that were relatives and friends, had the infamous high silicone values indicating the intake gasket/antifreeze problem. Both issues were resolved by the dealer and GM with the support of several consecutive analysis displaying increasing values.
