Amazon Basics is a brand that covers a lot of ground, including motor oil. But who makes Amazon’s oil and is it as good as well-known competitors?
Amazon may not be the first name that pops into your mind when thinking of the best motor oil brands out there, but that doesn’t mean it should be overlooked. Within its varied line of household products under the Amazon Basics banner is Amazon Basics Synthetic Motor Oil. While relatively new to the motor oil game, the Amazon Basics brand has quickly become a trusted choice among both regular car drivers and auto enthusiasts alike.
Amazon Basics is advertised as providing your engine with exceptional durability and protection, preventing corrosion and cutting down on exhaust emissions while also being resistant to extreme temperatures. The American Petroleum Institute gave Amazon Basics Motor Oil an SN Plus rating, the highest rating given by the organization, while also boasting ILSAC GF-5 certification.
