Advanced Auto Parts 5w30 synthetic dexos1 approved

[wemay]

What does Advance Auto Parts' dexos1 approval (5w20/5w30) say to you about the quality of this oil?

BTW, the MSDS indicate, made by Chevron:

Material Safety Data Sheet

SECTION 1 PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION
Advance Auto Parts Full Synthetic Motor Oil SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30
Product Use: Engine Oil

It has always been good quality, Dexos or not. AutoZone Synthetic is now Dexos approved also. It is still blended by Warren Distribution.

 

[tommygunn]

It is probably rebranded Havoline synthetic now.

 

[DemoFly]

That's awesome.

Dexos is alot better than just API SN.

Hopefully SuperTech will be dexos approved soon.

You change your oil with insanely low miles on it.

Dexos 1 is a good spec. Its fine not matter who makes it.

C'mon guys, lets show some courtesy here amongst fellow peers, no matter the disagreements on previuos threads.

I think anything made my Chevron is top notch. LOL The $20 filter and five qts. of Havoline Syn combo at Advance was a steal!

It would be interesting if Advance syn met the HTO-06 spec as well...

Agreed!

 

[TiredTrucker]

On a different note than dexos but related to Chevron, I am not all giddy about what Chevron puts out. I used a Chevron Delo full synthetic 5w40 in my commercial semi engine, that sheared something fierce. The viscosity loss over an OCI was terrible and got flagged several times. Since I have moved over to another label, no more viscosity loss and shearing. So, I am not all excited that Chevron is bottling something for someone. Knowing that would cause me to look elsewhere for my oil.

Exactly. I'd take almost any brand that could prove certification...

 

[wemay]

Me too, now even blends.

 

[ChrisD46]

Out of curiosity , what is AAP's brand synthetic going for these days per quart ?

 

[SwampSurvivor]

$5.50 a quart locally.

 

[Nickdfresh]

Related, I noticed that AutoZone synthetic oil is also Dexos1 approved in the 5W-30 weight...

I always get a kick out of that old saying... Especially since the correct way of saying it, in the sense that it implies, would actually be "how low on the totem pole" - the more important stuff goes on the bottom of the totem pole.

Just sayin'.

I'd say if it's priced well enough go for it.
Here's a PQIA on it:

I don't know if this is the dexos one or not, but either way, it looks good, and since you would be getting the dexos one, you know it's gotta be pretty good.

What's the price for this deal, Cuda?
