I did additional research on Super Tech oil and confirmed it has CAS number (64742-58-1) that is described as a "complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by treating a spent lube oil with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst", meaning it is re-refined base stock. So Glenda was correct in...

Yes, Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30 motor oil + Valvoline MaxLife ATF transmission fluid can help many vehicles reach 300k miles. Valvoline has become my favorite brand, because they earned it with the great fluids they make.

Nice comment. I used to have a 2008 Toyota Corolla CE, that generation can run forever even with neglected maintenance. By using Valvoline Restore and Protect on it, it will be barely broken in at 1 million miles. My daily driver is a 2012 Toyota Corolla LE. I'm on my 3rd 5,000 mile drain...

Interesting.... From your post, I'm still not seeing the root cause of the oil shortage. You mentioned: *Auto Makers / Dealers stockpiling syn oil. *New auto production to be slowed/stopped. Perhaps the big 3 domestic pickup truck manufacturers are slowing production of their new pickup trucks...

Nice choice of filter. That $1.50 clearance is hard to beat. I went to my local Walmart yesterday. They had about 7 Super Tech Oil filters for my Toyota Corollla: ST10358. I opened up the boxes on the shelf and the quality assurance was terrible - the pleating had large gapped pleats and...

With Kirkland 5W-30, you can target reaching 500,000 on the truck. The lowest priced full synthetic oil that meets the spec is all I've been using for years.

Good luck - I was ready to take them too, but congratulations on landing these.

Those containers are real badass. Much better than today's containers.

I bought it in store at Walmart. I submitted it on the rebate pennzoil site. I chose zip code where the Walmart was, and then in that zip code, it gave me a list of stores and I chose Walmart. It accepted the rebate request. I still haven't gotten the rebate, but perhaps in 1 to 2 month's...

Do the search yourself to see the details. I can't post here as it might violate this forum's policy about AI.

So, a deal sometimes isn't really a deal. I asked AI: What is the gas mileage penalty of using a 5W-30 Euro oil with HTHS = 3.5 versus using a 5W-30 API SP Dexos 1 Gen 3 oil with HTHS = 3.1. It did a deep in depth engineering analysis and came up with 2% decrease in fuel economy. On my 2007...

Has anyone bought a Super Tech cannister filter for their Toyota in the last few weeks? Was concerned that the Champion Labs made Super Tech filters' quality may have gone down lately as morale and job losses may have lessened quality assurance and overall quality. I was thinking about...

Last week I had bought two 5 quart jugs of the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at Walmart in store for $26.50 each and then did the $30 rebate (total cost is $11.50 for each 5 quart jug of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum). I hope they haven't cheapened the product and are just using a plain group III full...

That is a great photo. If I had that car, I would do a lot of preventative maintenance and take it to car shows.

Super Tech 5W-30 synthetic is a good oil. I asked all 3 AI's: OpenAi, Gemini, Claude to do a deep in depth analysis of all data sheets and all available info on the internet. It's not made from recycled oil, and it's a group III full synthetic.

LOL: Walmart has a box of 8 donunts for about $3.84. Why settle for 1 donut when you can have 8 donuts. I am a believer in DIY: For oil changes, ATF fluid changes, air and cabin air filters, etc. Once you do it the first time, it's like riding a bike, you never forget. You can save a ton of...

I I just use a breaker bar because it makes it easier with the extra leverage, but any rachet will suffice.

In my case: Supertech High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-30 + Super Tech Oil filter is about $20 total. Put the car on ramps. Use breaker bar to undo drain plug, drain oil, replace oil filter, done so fast. DIY is the way to go.

5 quart jugs for DIY is the way to go. Entire oil + filter change can be $20 total with a full synthetic Dexos oil.

Yeah, was just hoping they extended it. Thanks.
