If it meets the required API spec, it's good enough for me.

According to this video all three of these oils are the same
(and all three are definitely made by the same manufacturer)

Amazon Basics
Supertech
Kirkland fully synthetic

They're all the same oil made by Warren Distribution in Omaha Nebraska.

Not only does it meet the API SP specification but it also meets
Dexos 1 Generation 2 approval (which I'm not yet sure what that is).


Thank you Arlen, why don't you inform us what this spec details?

I'm not Arlen, but Dexos is spec oil specified for GM products after
2011. Gen 2 was the second spec - Gen 3 is current.
