API Certified vs Non-Certified Oils

[Sienna dude]

I’d love to see what it costs Walmart for the $18 jug. Mass produced base stocks. They’re definitely making money.

Who makes it for them? And who else that company makes oil for? That way we can get an idea about the quality. Like Napa's oil is pretty good because it's Valvoline

I think it’s Warren currently. They make it for many other companies. I believe Amazon Basics and Costco Kirkland are the same as Supertech.

A quick Google said yes Warren. If super tech is this, then it's an amazing oil
Look at all those approvals

I remember I d

Yes those things are expensive but if you sell in big volume, you can still turn a little profit. But selling at 25% off every single day, HPL cannot stay in business. That little profit is not enough. But for a behemoth like walmart, that tiny bit of profit from supertech is enough. I bet Walmart makes way more money from Super Tech then hpl does from their amazing oils lol

HPL doesn't produce oils for the consumer space as a money maker, they don't move enough product in this space for it to be significant. Their money making efforts are racing, industrial applications and huge government fleets.

Highline Warren, WPP, Warren Oil, Warren Distribution … Worse than Stellantis …

Wrong Warren.

Warren Performance Packaging, which I think was sold through Warren Distribution, which is now Highline Warren, is who makes Supertech.

Mag1 I believe is the products you'd want to be looking at (Warren Distribution's brand of oils) if you are trying to find a product that might be the basis for Supertech.

NHRA must use LUCAS on the flag poles - what else would it qualify for?

It means people with beaters need $8 in oil and $10 in Sunoco gasoline …

I mean, this SDS is admittedly dated, so maybe that has changed? lol

13% Noack isn't very good, but it looks like an average API-approved product.
