Peak motor oil

[sm00thpapa]

Peak SYN is available at AAP for $6.99 a quart. It is made by Warren lubricants the same makers of AAP Full SYN. So is Peak and AAP Full SYN the same oil? Think I will stick with Napa SYN made by Ashland.

I saw that deal at my Autozone. I read the fine print and it's something like, $14.99 for the 5.1 jug oil and a filter (up to $4.99) with a $4.99 mail-in rebate.

Since I'm not a fan of Mail-in rebates, I didn't go for it. If the whole $10 deal was an instant-rebate (rather than half=instant and half=mail in) I would have gone for it.

I'm using Peak full synthetic 5-20 now. Seems to run quietly...no problems with it.

Wasn't Warren the subject of an industry inquiry about not meeting specs on their gear oil?

I used Peak Synthetic 5W-20 in my 2010 Toyota Camry.

Absolutely no problem.

Wait for a sale though.

I would use this oil if the price was right. Right now you can even get Valvoline SYN at Napa for $5.39 a quart.

I believe that was Warren Unilube... the OTHER warren. I like them too... Most of the issue was with product mislabeling, so the label spec didn't meet the bottle stuff. It's been fixed. Warren Unilibe is OK oil too...

Warren Distribution (Warren Performance Products) from Nebraska, and Warren Unilube of North Carolina can be easlily confused.

Advanced auto Parts oil was a Warren Unilube made product last I checked.

Warren Dist (Nebraska) makes.....
Mag1, Accel, Peak, Federated, etc. look for a WNE or WPP emblem on the bottom of the bottle.

Warren Unilube is known for..
Warren (brand), Coastal, and many other house brands.. look for a WU on the bottom of the bottle..
