I noticed in their contact us section, they're headquartered in Omaha, NE. So happens to be Warren Oil Company's distribution arm (Warren Distribution).

I bet dollars to donuts that Piston King is Warren rebrand, except their targeting a new market niche, online sales.

Personally I'd rather buy Mag1 Synthetic on Amazon for about $5 shipped. At least the bottles look better and less of a gimick than "Piston King."

They deliver right to your front door. Or back door if you prefer.

So....why would one pay for "Piston King" when you can get Super Tech or any other auto part chain house brand for way less money?

Because it's the first oil to be sold exclusively online!

I can see the dollar shave club comparison. Looks like something that would be advertised in upper end men's magazines. Or the Sebastian Kaufman kind of diyer. Looks to appeal to the uppity men that want to be manly and change their own oil.

Why would you have a new brand of oil without the dexos spec? Kinda dumb.

Probably a private label.

Has anyone tried it, yet? Curious on the add pack. Is it going to be just another run of the mill, not up to par with name brand, oil? Or can it possibly be something to compete with Amsoil, Mobil1 0W-40, GC 0W-30, etc. type oils?

If they only sell their product online, they should save some money through distribution and advertising, and that should allow a lower price per quality point.

But "should" and "could" are far from "do" and "does".

I like "Camshaft Ninja." Instead of guy in a white labcoat, have a guy in a Ninja Gi holding a Black bottle of oil, and a label with a Nunchuck and two crossed swords.

This will sell out all warehouse stock immediately!

But not these nunchuks:

Nunchucks

Hey, I have an idea!
Lets take our perfectly good API SN oil and rebrand it with a cool name and a cool bottle.
Lets offer this stuff online only and target the wannabe cool guy, who probably doesn't typically touch his car but may want the macho cred of at least changing his own oil and may want the cred associated with using something perceived as being hip beyond what Walmart carries.
What should we call it?

It is a Warren oil, I saw a blurb about it on some car show I watched, don't remember which one though.
