Super tec reason my motor is junk?

[Rygrego]

I have always run parts master oil and I recently switched to Super TEC oil for the cost savings. After the switch, after 2 oil changes my chevy 350 5.7 developed MAJOR oil pressure issues. I am really thinking it is the cheap super tec oil that caused the issues. Is this what ruined my engine???

SuperTech from Walmart is as good as any off the shelf motor oil. It's the same oil Costco and Amazon sells from Warren Distributing. A well known quality product.

I would reach out to @ARCOgraphite as he has blown more motors than anyone I have ever known. I'm sure he could shed some light on this for you.

@clinebarger - could he have the oil pickup seal starting to go out ?

Your motor is junk because you ran it without oil.

Spelling Supertech wrong tells me volumes….

After this thread you started, I think the answer is clear. Starting up a 30 year old truck, and running it without oil, and then continuing to operate it with low oil pressure, are what caused your problem.

I think we can address your issues in that thread. This one is closed. I have deleted the unkind comments about the OP.

Chevy 350 making only 3 to 5lbs oil pressure idling when warm.

I have a 1996 chevy 1500 with the 350 5.7, it burns a little oil too. The oil pressure has slowly been getting worse over time, now when warm it only makes around 3-5lbs when idling. As embarrassing as it is, one time when I first changed the oil myself, I started it up with the drain plug out...
