Fred's Pharmacy Oil

[zamadison]

Anyone got any idea where I can get a PDS of Fred's Pharmacy Oil?
It's got the API SN logo on the bottle.

Bottom of the bottle is stamped WPP. I'm assuming it's a Warren Product but I could not find PDS on their website. Couldn't find one on google either.

I confess ignorance of the required lubrication for a pharmacy.

Just buy a named brand oil when it's on sale or go to Walmart. Forget about all this no-name [censored] oil.

Who is Fred?

According to their website https://www.fredsinc.com/freds-brand/freds-brand-items/

They say "Compare to Pennzoil® Fred's Motor Oil"

also it says "if not satisfied bring back for a full refund"


So that would be interesting to do an oil change then drive it and not be satisfied because it doesnt compare to pennzoil...then do you take back the used oil for a full refund?

Looks like they have Fred's Type A Automatic Transmission Fluid as well:

According to their circular the oil is $2.75/quart and the atf is $3.25/quart. The circular says DexMerc.

I'm not a neophyte. This stuff has the API SN rating printed on the bottle. It's not "censored". It is API certified oil in a bottle that clearly has WPP printed on the bottom of it.

Warren makes many fine products including Magtech, Supertech etc. I was just looking for PDS.

To do that you'd have to compare it with penzoil, hence running rings around yourself logically and hoisting yourself with your own petard, which is probably quite painfull.

Perhaps they do petard oil. Its a pharmacy, after all

Fred's oil is fine. I do not have a PDS as you requested, but the API mark is more than sufficient. Use with confidence.

I cannot be of much help.

But, running it in a burner may be its best suit. Maybe 10w-40 in an old V8 or a 30wt in something more modern.

Yep, that does sound rather comical. After all, there are other lubricants to be found in a Pharmacy.

Warren Performance Products/Warren Performance Packaging is an independent blender of lubricants and will package any lubricant in any container with any label you want to stick on it.

It will likely spec similar to this:
