$3.25/qt after shipping to me...then you need to buy a pump to use it. Probably better off getting for $4/qt locally on sale comes in a normal bottle.

Yeah I woulda been at $3.20/qt shipped. Not bad but not worth ordering for me. A 5% code would help a bit

SADLY, Shipping is a "deal killer" for me!..... Thanks OP for the "heads up" post!

BTW! I like to buy gallons of oil and fill 4 empty quart bottles (re used clean oil bottles) for any measurements less than a gallon.

At that website it says ",,, Synthetic Blend Motor Oil ..."

VERY TRUE! This oil is a synthetic blend oil and is NOT 100% Synthetic oil that costs more money. A "blended oil" is better than conventional Dino oil.

Once the engine is broken in (2000 miles) I use 100% Amsoil synthetic oil along with a Amsoil Ea filter on all my vehicles.

Those of you looking for oil, as crazy as it sounds, look into the Amazon Basics brand. It is "SN Plus" rated which exceeds most "name brand" synthetics currently on the market. It is dirt cheap too!

I watched a YT video comparing the Amazon, Mobil, & one other name brand. The Amazon performed just as well in all the tests, if not the best. Unless I get a great deal on other oil, my next oil will be Amazon.

My wife's Traverse will not drink a drop of AC Delco oil yet other pure synthetics like Pennzoil Pure Platinum it drinks like a drunken sailor (about a quart a month).

Dexos used to be a synthetic blend. A couple years ago they changed it to full synthetic though. It's probably just a product description that someone forgot to update.

Amazon Basics oil is made by Warren(you can read that right on the rear label on amazon's site). Same company that produces a lot of the Supertech oil for Walmart. Walmart prices are a bit lower than amazon, but you'll have to order more than one jug there to hit the free shipping price point.

What type of pump is needed. I tried to find it googling but did not find anything. What type of spout or opening does it have that you need a pump.

No pump needed...... Just pour it! :beer:

The only time I have ever used a pump is on rear end or transfer case lubes.

$20 isn't "dirt cheap". Its on par to other major brands, some with rebates. Napa Synthetic 5qt jugs just had their first sale of the year at $18. They'll be that price again.

Never thought to buy my oil on Amazon. Will have to look at that. Costco usually has the best deal when on sale.
