   Yes but can you find it at your local Costco or at around $2.50/quart?   
      
   BTW, the Kirkland fully synthetic 5W30 motor oil I bought is API SP   
   (although this heating/cooling test showed some models are API SN Plus)

   They tested the oil for a bunch of things that matter for motor oil.   
      
   They heated it. They cooled it. They looked for wear scars in bearings.   
   And they ran it in an engine & sent it out for chemical testing.
