PQIA already did an AmazonBasics 0w20 back in March 2018: http://pqiadata.org/SuperTech_HM_SYN_0W20.html
Its the same (except for the High Mileage seal conditioner boost, slightly only). Warren Distribution oil. Anybody can buy a bunch and "Have Their Own Brand" without really having your own brand oil.

dexos1 license number D10394HG025 is shared with 17 other oils https://www.gmdexos.com/owner/brands/dexos1/index.html
Good decent stuff.

Because it's a name brand does not make it better.

It seems the 0w20 oil is pretty good and the 5w20 is ok.
The 0w is syn, the 5w is conv (blend)

I agree.
I used to be a Valvoline only guy before my BITOG days (no particular reason, I guess marketing), but now I use whatever I get for cheap.
As for the Amazon stuff, I don't see any reason to get it at it's current price ($20). Supertech Syn is a better deal (and basically the same oil).
If you start factoring in rebates, Valvoline and Mobil are even better values (and "better" oils, although most would not be able to tell a difference).

Or go to your local Farm and Home store and pick up WD's Mag1 Full Synthetic which is about $17.50/gallon.

Walmart sells the AmazonBasics 0w20 (SuperTech 0w20 same) for $16 in a 5 quart jug. Can't beat that (except for Harvest King 0w20 for $14 at Rural King if one is nearby.)
