Made by Amalie Oil Co

 

Yeah well their filters are junk. and even if the oil is actually produced by Amalie that doesn't mean the blends are ok. Based on the cost I would say it's not what I would use.

 

Agreed, but it's also another option if the others are not available.

 

Current Alfa spec 0-w30 Mobil 1 at just about every Wal-Mart. $27.95 5qt jugs. You can get it at O Riley's too if you want to pay $35 for the same.

 

Just purchased Mobil 1 AFE myself for $28 at Wal-Mart

 

do we know who makes the Mopar 0w30?

 

Some people have said Shell but others have said Warren Oil Co, I've even heard of Amalie making it too.
If somebody has a photo of the bottom of the oil container for the Mopar oil might narrow it down.

 

Last I saw on Bob the oil guy info it was Exxon/Mobil who is still the largest supplier of "Base Stock" that others buy and then make their own additive blends such as Amsoil. I doubt MOPAR does any blending however and just buys it off the shelf

 

FCA / stellantis used to get oil from Exxon Mobil. It's now shell.

 

 

Max pro+ just picked up 2 weeks ago

 

The HDPE stands for high-density polyethylene bottle material. Still looking for the three C's stacked together ID

 

The bottle itself looks like it's made by US plastics and the cap is made by CSI.


You'll find similar bottles in Quaker State and super tech which some of super tech is made by mobile some of it is made by Pennzoil and some of it is made by Warren.

Technically anybody can use these containers.

 

Info on Warren Oil and their product/customers. They have their own label and well as "Costal" which I have seen in various high way service stations and 7-11 quick stops etc.along various other branding. Didn't see MOPAR on the list. I might use this in my lawn mower but that's about it

Likely made by Shell.

Shell Lubricants provides dealer-level program and marketing support and supplies the Mopar oil program with premium Mopar and Pennzoil® motor oils for Chrysler Group vehicles and competitive makes.

 

I just saw something weird, apparently Fram makes a 0W-30 Oil that's fully compliant with the Giulia and Stelvio warranty.

Advance Auto Parts - Down for Maintenance

GF-6A, API SP Certified.
Interesting, couldn't find a VOA on bobistheoilguys website.
Hopefully someone will post it soon.

Bottles look similar to what Mopar has.

I saw that Fram sells the very rare spec SN-Plus/API SP 0w-30 oil that our 2.0T engine require. However, I also learned that Mobil 1 also makes an affordable Advance Fuel Economy SN-plus rated 0w-30 oil. So i will go with the Mobil 1 version since really do not know much about the actually oil company that makes the oil for Fram.

With that being said, I am sure that the Fram oil would be fine to use since the SN-Plus rated oil mostly means that the calcium cleaning agent has been reduced(or removed) in the oil to prevent low speed pre-ignition(calcium is the main cause of the issue). I am sure that the oil supplier can easily remove calcium from the additive formulation. The question is how effective the Fram oil would be in terms of cleaning the pistons without calcium or a reduced amount.

I just go with Mobil 1 Advance Fuel Economy for about $25 a gallon since it is well known quality oil brand. Not the best, but an affordable quality oil brand.

Yes we are aware of that.

 

I mean no offense. But as a new owner most of these posts do not educate new owners on the dangers of the proper oil to use or even why.

I for one almost purchased the incorrect weight of oil and oil type when I just glanced through these posts. I almost purchased 0w-30 Mobile 1 ESP which is the worst type of oil for our engine(high calcium content) that would have caused low speed pre-ignition in my engine. The oil was recommended in a few threads. I almost purchased 5w-30 oil, but it not listed in the owners manual as the proper oil weight, but that weight of oil is recommended in the threads.

I am sure that the proper information is out there in this forum, but a lot of inaccurate information is available as well that new members like myself is seeing more than the correct information.

I respect that some owners are willing to take a risk by using non-recommended oil weights and oil types in their own engines, but I do not like it when they state that it fine to use as a fact it when it may not be. New owners like myself may end up damaging our engines and void our warranties based off their opinions.

Hence my two cents.

ESP now covers the SN+, SP, Islac gf6a spec like the AFE version, the older formulation did not

 

If you can find it, I've been checking store shelves for over a month and still haven't found the newer formula.
Even ordered directly from walmart.com, everything so far has been the old formula.
