0W-16 is a thing? What uses that?
Modern high efficiency hybrids. Supposedly the -16 is just a differentiator and not actually measurement of relative viscosity.

I have been using Mobil 1 full-synthetic for about 20 years and it is a bargain at this price.

You clearly don't understand the concept behind the Kirkland signature busniess model at Costco.

Kirkland requires that the products meet or exceed the quality of the brand name equivalent. Generally speaking if you see a brand name product at Costco and a Kirkland brand right next to it, oftentimes it's manufactured by the same company but the Kirkland version must be the same or higher quality at a lower price.

Either way, here's product farm testing Kirkland oil along with lab tests.https://youtu.be/l9il_piyuT8?si=YfKwLaDu7rW7YkAq

Newest Toyota RAV4s uses that, our 2019 and 2021 RAV4 XLE and LE uses the same oil viscosity

Thanks! I buy the 0w-20 from Costco, but that comes with 6 1qt bottles while my car only takes 5qt so I'm always left with 1 bottle to use later.

Costco has the 5 quart jugs on sale. 2 for $30 in store or 4 shipped for $54.

Do you have proof of this?
I worked at a place that made a Kirkland product and it was eventually dropped. The people working on it said it wasn't meeting our quality requirements and there was no money to be made.

It's generally known since Costco is the world's third largest retailer and by far the largest retailer that does exclusive deals on specific categories.

They work through the harvest group which mentions the requirements of being a supplier for Kirkland signature.
https://harvestgroup.com/how-to-b...0stability

The notes specifically mention it's not for everyone, because it is very hard to become a Kirkland signature manufacturer and make a profit from it because the requirements are so stringent.

"For Costco, value begins with quality, not price. Costco's expectation is that Kirkland Signature products meet or exceed national brands in performance and consistency, then deliver that quality at a better value for members."

Unlike most retailers, Costco actually requires that nothing sold in their store can be marked up more than 15% regardless of current market pricing.

The point is that they use the leverage of being one of the world's largest retailer to get manufacturers to give them extremely high quality versions of their products at a very low margin with the promise of massive sales volume. They have no interest in low quality products specifically because they offer unconditional lifetime refunds on most products.

It's just a fundamentally different business model than most any other retailer

The specs that Kirkland meets/exceeds are listed on the bottle. They don't meet them all. Different brands/types of oil have different formulations and additive packages. Which one is 'best' or more suited towards your car/driving habits is another story.

Also, Project Farm's tests don't actually test engine oil inside of an engine so...

That link makes it much clearer. It's very open ended. "Competitive benchmarking" line says it needs to meet attributes Costco deems important.
The product we dropped was picked up by another manufacter and there is no way their quality matches ours.
Also where is this 15% cap from? It sounds like another misquoted line.

That's widely known, and the average is actually 11%. 15% is the absolute maximum.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edga...0k9119.htm

"General
We operate membership warehouses based on the concept that offering our members low prices on a limited selection of nationally branded and private-label products in a wide range of categories will produce high sales volumes and rapid inventory turnover. When combined with the operating efficiencies achieved by volume purchasing, efficient distribution and reduced handling of merchandise in no-frills, self-service warehouse facilities, these volumes and turnover enable us to operate profitably at significantly lower gross margins (net sales less merchandise costs) than most other retailers. We generally sell inventory before we are required to pay for it, even while taking advantage of early payment discounts."


This is more readable then the sec filling:
https://massivemoats.substack.com...nto-costco

"Costco distinguishes itself by passing a significant portion of its economies of scale back to its members through consistently low product prices, maintaining a markup of no more than 14% (15% for Costco's private label Kirkland Signature), with a target of 11% on Costco's total cost of goods sold."
