Teton Motor Oil

[MattLawz]

Hey everyone hope your having a good day, was at my local automotive wholesaler today and they recently started carrying this motor oil from a brand called Teton. They have a wide range of these oils from conventional to full synthetic etc.

5 Quarts of full synthetic is selling at $13, so I decided to pick up 2 jugs to see what it's about. Ive been looking online but I have not seen or heard of this brand anywhere.

Should I be skeptical about using it in my vehicles and customer vehicles, or do I have nothing to be worried about?

Im gonna include some pictures of the bottles and boxes the oil comes in. Feedback is appreciated.

Also wanted to note, I did notice the bottles do look similar to Shell Rotella bottles...

Hmm. "Helps reduce engine friction." Indeed. Looks like they themselves have rated it 3 stars.

There is a Teton in the API directory, blended by Techno-Fill.

Api sp and dexos? Send it! I’d use it all day at that price

It's listed in API. Why not? I'll use it too for 5K OCI

I’d pay a few more bucks and get a known brand. It helps me sleep well.

I like the clear quarts.....
So it has to be good

Maybe I've missed this on other bottles, but is it SN PLUS or SP? It shows both.

SP. It's normal

Looks like a white box label slap by somebody that doesn't quite understand the approvals (Honda, Acura A/5 B-05 ????) GM dexos1 (no generation), MB 229.3 has a min HTHS of 3.5cP, which is not what you are going to see in an ILSAC RC oil...etc.

So for me, based on that, it's a big nope.

kind of looks like a dealer oil,or quick lube places that advertize a $39.99 oil change with a cheap filter,can find no specs on this stuff,,look else where.

First time I have seen expiration date on oil packaging.

Before anybody tries to correct me, I know the industry standard is 5 year recommended shelf life, just I have not seen it label before that way.

This. Reminds me of Triax oils, the approvals don’t add up. I’d bet it’s the same blender putting whatever approval on the bottle.
