Review on Top-Quality Amazon Basics Synthetic High Mileage Motor Oil For Enhanced Engine Performance by Kyle Smithlin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent! Highly recommend!

I have regularly used Full Synthetic oils for awhile now. I was hesitant to switch from Mobil1, so I searched on some reviews and tests done on this oil. Everything looked good, so I moved forward. Here are a few reviews and tests: Project Farm https://youtu.be/a9DWGtXpYUc and Scotty Kilmer https://youtu.be/Ye-5EyrwkOQ The API "donut" shows it has been thoroughly tested in ways that neither of these two are able to do and passed.I have now been using this oil for over a year. I use 5w30 in my 2007 Land Cruiser (4.7 L v8), my 2011 Ford E250 EXT (5.4 L v8), and my mom's 2008 Lexus GX 470 (4.7 L v8). I use the 0w20 in my daughter's 2009 Camry Hybrid (2.4 L 4cyl hybrid). I change the oil and filter every 5000 miles (yes, I know you are supposed to be able to go 7000 miles. I'm just can't bring myself to do that. I was a stickler for 3000 mile oil changes with conventional.) The oil goes in clean and comes out dirty, just like it should. I have never found any filings or metal flakes - or any other indicators of excessive wear. It is REALLY hard to beat the price on this, and I am well pleased with the way it operates. I do not plan to change anytime soon. BTW, you should search for some testing on YouTube for oil filters, as well. Wix, Napa (made by Wix), and Toyota seem to me to be top notch. I've never had an issue with them.

Pros
  • satified
Cons
  • The oil may cause issues with fuel injectors or sensors
