I suppose it was only a matter time. Back in July, Amazon quietly released an Amazonbasics line of synthetic motor oils including a 5W-40 suitable for both gas and heavy duty diesel engines. It comes with the newer CK4 approval.
I would think it would be fine in an ALH (yes?) but at $22.50 a gallon, its still cheaper to grab T6 when its on sale. I know nothing about the specs to make any kind of statement on use in newer vehicles, nor would I experiment.
The 5W30 full synthetics for $20/5qt is definitely a bargain. Edited to add (I would consider using this in my wife's Toyota).
