Is this one, or two different brands of oil you're asking about?
If it's two, I would trust Kirkland before Amazon Basics.
Kirkland has a rep for putting their name on premium products.
Amazon, not as much.
BTW, why is this in Gen V Internal??

from what I understand, the kirkland brand is big name brand oil but they switch it once the contract is over, could be several months, or years. Same goes with Walmart/Supertech, and others like Amazon. As long as you are sticking with synthetic, I don't think you will have any issues.

Yeah, there really isn't any telling as to what oil your are getting. As long as it meets the requirements that the engine manufacturer states (Dexos 2, etc), then you'll be fine.

hello frauline
I LOL’d at this one. I’ve had Rottweilers since 1996. I always have at least one and a lot of the time I have 2. My latest one is a 6 month old female named Zoe. My dad just shakes his head at the name. He says any German dog should be called something “masculine” like Frauline. I had never heard Frauline before my Dad said that back in March. I told him that this Rotty isn’t German, she’s Serbian. We aren’t done with the conversation yet…lol.

"Masculine like Fraulein". That is hilarious! I'm guessing he had no idea "Fraulein" is German for "Miss"....

I’m sure he knows. The pup is a female after all, so it makes perfect sense now. He’s always making fun of my rottys names. My wife or my son give them their names usually.

Well, I would recommend the Indiana Jones trilogy.
