Sams Club's new Prime Series motor oil
- Thread starter dmoses42
- Start date
This is the 5w30 Synblend variety. For your viewing pleasure... FWIW: I just got a couple cases of this for the Matrix and the Sienna. $1.75/quart -might as well give it a go and see how it compares to the Milesyn I've been running for the past few years.

And that container design is Amalie too !
Good job on your part matching the Dexos approval
You have to read the "fine print" to see the Dexos certification. Usually it's on the front of the container.

A local Mom and Pop conv. store here in my area buys the Sam's Prime conventional oil qt. sizes (appears to be Amalie) in several weights and sells it for $3.00 per qt.
Not a bad price considering the large chain conv. stores in this area sell their brand of conventional oil in qt. sizes for $6.00 per qt. or so

This is a lot better price then auto parts stores selling equal quality motor oil for 3X the price.

The Costco here used to have other choices of oil besides Mobil 1, they used to carry the regular Rotella T4 15w40, they did have a closeout on Formula Shell that I scored 2 cases of 10w30 for cheap to use in the lawnmower but all they stock anymore is the Mobil 1.

It sure is Amalie. Just put the upc code in and it pulls up the Amalie MSDS.

Agreed. It's fine for a lawnmower, but I wouldn't put that oil in any of my cars. Better off choosing SuperTech.

I ran a Saturn sw2 for 165k on sams club oil. trans went first
Not to defend this oil, but one sample, that shows the oil meets the acceptable ranges for its api specs does not make an oil look bad. I would like to see it's Dexos spec oil as 5 w20 is in limp mode as a choice anymore.

Amalie might be the blender.
One reviewer claims they spotted an identifying code on the bottom of the bottles.

what is so new about it? it has been out for years here at my local sams club.
Has anyone done a UOA on the 5w-30 blend? Or have any feedback on how this oil runs in their car?
It isn't quite as good as the Kirkland/Costco deal, but the 6/1qt box of Prime Series Full Synthetic (not the usual "Synblend") is now $16 down from $20.

Not a bad deal at all.
There are some great prices on oil right now.
Not sure if it will continue, but I've stocked up.

I have a 2014 ATS 2.0T with 65k miles. Was wondering you guys' thoughts on this oil (5w/30 prime in the photos above) with 5-6k intervals. I'm not up to speed s on all the tech talk concerning oils as far as what additive does what/means what, etc etc, so that's why I'm asking.
Are there any oils that are really and truly "better" for turbos, (that meet the D1G2 spec I need) or is any oil that meets the GM spec all right? I'm not one who normally looks to do extended drain intervals. I used M1 for the past couple of years (since purchase) and then I heard it "sheers" off too easily, or something like that so I started using Valvoline synpower. What are you guys' suggested oils for my application? Anyway, thanks for any insight.
p.s. most of my driving is relegated to around town....not much highway traveling and I do like to hot-rod it a bit, lol.

I would just stay with the Mobil 1
