I am using it in two vehicles and "like it". I have a Toyota Tacoma 4 banger with 185k that was noisy. I put in the HM and she's quiet as a mouse. Could there be some moly in it? For the price, oh, yeah, I think it's a keeper. Mike

When I put ST Long Mileage into my Toyota Tacoma, '99 with 182k on it, I figured it would start knocking. I had used various oils then got sold on Havoline. It stopped the knocking immediately. Is that good in itself? Or, just good for the emotions? I changed the Havoline a week ago and fully...

Today I saw a new Supertech oil for vehicles over 75000 miles. It was in 5 quart bottles that were reddish if I remember correctly. Price was about 6.55 for 5 quarts. Comes in 10-30 and 10-40 viscosities. Anybody with some insights into this oil? Mike

My Toyota Corolla runs in 4th speed on the automatic trannie at 2100 rpm at 65 mph. ****, 45-4700 sounds incredibly high. I'd have thought that some trannie thingie would allow for running at 2500 rpm rather than 4700 or so...I am rather amazed.. Mike

Folks have gotten so obsessive compulsive on this website they figure cheap is bad, expensive is good, and hunches and feelings have as much credibility as the lab analyses. When the oil analysis comes out in favor of Super Tech full synthetic being real good, they say, "can't be, the lab tech...

It's pretty obvious that people searching for the perfect oil have but one possibility. I'd install 5 or 6 oil sumps in the vehicle and have a selective switch that would allow the engine to use each oil when a master sensor determined that the oil viscosity was 0.000127 Angstrom microns below...

No, my pickup is in a state of Kozmic Karma emanating from the knowledge it has reached that state of Harmonious Lubricity that is often sought but only delivered when an individual finally reaches a state of oneness with BobIsTheOilGuru. I suggest that tuning in this website should be...

Sorry I used the three letter word which was correctly starred out in my message. I must have been thinking of Kwanzaa when I wrote the note. Mike

I, too, ask the question if quieter is better. However, I'd be surprised if quieter isn't better. And, I sorta feel that when I put the new Havoline into my engine that the viscosity was certainly "heavier" than the ST synthetic which I believe is a PAO formula despite the fact the ST was 10W-30...

I've been running Super Tech 10W-30 oil in my '99 Tacoma for about a year. It ran good, I guess, but I was getting a fair amount of tappet noise over the last 6 months or so. After reading some blurbs on this website, I changed over to 5W-30 Havoline, and voila!, no noise. None. What happened...

I am incredibly boggled that you can't decipher what I wrote. Amazed... I referred, if you read, that other sections on the bob is the oil guy, are the sites of concern. Bypass sites, etc. I find this amazing, utterly amazing. How many other sites do you know that discuss bypass filters...

It's rather interesting to see that posters in other Bob's oil sites are using really short OCI for Mobil 1 and other good synthetics. Like, don't they ever read the bypass sites comments on filters and extending those intervals? And, there's lots of hype and questionable hypotheses being aired...

Airborne Ranger, I used magnets to hold the bypass filter in my Toyota Tacoma 4 banger. My Frantz metal cannister with the TP in it allows magnetic attachment to a corner of the engine compartment very easily and functionally. You can use the ceramic magnets you get from most any store, like the...

mjo's comments proves nothing, either, just hot air. Ugly3 says you "may go 40% longer with a bypass filter". All unsupported baloney, guys, my statements are insignificant but yours are not? Just whom are we kidding, guys? Give me something to go on, not just your suppositions, guesses...
