Dollar Store Oil?

[ensoniqman]

Anyone know who Vantage Oil is from Ohio? 5 bucks a quart. Plus, they now sell Prestone antifreeze at Dollar Tree in Northern California.

Isn't Supertech about $5/qt?

I can see this being on the PQIA naughty list, or is could be made by Warren.

Why would you?

Keep in mind that you live in a country with the cheapest oil and fuel in the world.
How much cheaper can we go?

 

[Tdbo]

Five bucks a quart for a blend?
With some thoughtful shopping, one can buy a decent full synthetic for that.
Hard pass on that for me.

 

[ensoniqman]

Hai. Not cheap.

Let's be clear about something, what is Dollar Tree good 4, Greeting Cards, they used to be .50 cents a card and now they are a dollar a card. I know this is about Vantage Oil, but I had my mom love the cards that I got her from the Dollar Tree store, as opposed to the cards I would get her from the Grocery store at the last minute when I did not plan ahead and the card costs me $7.00

I am cheap on Greeting Cards because they get thrown away, but motor oil from Dollar Tree, I cannot go there.

Exceeds API SP and GF6. It’s cheap because they don’t market….oil is oil

Was thinking for the lawnmower...
Never a car (Well, maybe a beater)

PQIA passes it for the listed application, so it won't kill your run of the mill engine. Should be fine for top up if you don't trust it to stand up for full changes.

They tested it 5 years ago. That isnt a test from 1 year ago, I'm good knowing it would be a hard pass. You had me at dollar store too even before that. I'd probably use a 25 year old Pennzoil conventional of conventional first, of which i have a few on the shelf.

seems like only a couple of dollars more you can go to Walmart and get a name brand instead,,,just skip a trip through Starbucks or Mc Donald's.

It's better than the 11 oz bottles of "SMB" 10w30 that also claimed to meet API specs.

Back in 2005 or so we could get Philips Tropartic 10w30 blend for $1/qt at dollar tree. Or ATF. Good times.

 

[wemay]

Probably blended by Warren or Omni.

 

[charbaby]

I saw it tested on the PQIA web site.

A 5 qt jug of Supertech Full Synthetic and Supertech High Mileage Full Synthetic is $20.16 after tac which is $4.** qt.

It actually looks really good on paper - 219 boron, low CCS value, strong ZDDP content…I’d use it for sure!

Doesn't look like that matters. Just randomly checked "Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0W-20" and it was last tested in '22. Does that mean it's unsafe to use ? I'm sure others are just as old or older. Even PQIA's website is listing test results from '23 on their front page.

years ago, I used plenty of Trop Bartic engine oil, quite reasonably priced.

Exactly, Considering DG was caught up in the misleading oil labels on stocked oil in the past I'd think they have learned by now.

A couple more bucks and get Amsoil OE or Syn blend
