Hi all! Been looking at supertech high mileage synthetic oil. Wondering...all the other oil makers,advertise seal conditioners. Supertech does not. Does it,have seal conditioners,or not!?
Does supertch HM synthetic have seal conditioner?

The #1 feature of HM oils is seal conditioners/swellers. I'm sure the answer is yes.
All modern spec oils have seal conditioners including SuperTech and SuperTech HM.
I think if you want a high-mileage oil, you want to look away from Super Tech. According to the detailed datasheets posted, the Super Tech and Super Tech High-Mileage are identical oils.

In case you need an illustration:
some of all oils will eventually find their ways to the ocean ... and as a result, none can be seal friendly.
I was never concerned about the impact of oil on engine seals until I joined bitog and learned something new to worry about
for example that syn oil is harsher on seals, etc. and api SL is more seal friendly than SN and I can go on ...

It's the lowest priced syn oil change at Wal-Mart. Can't change my own oil so I used it when I needed to run my car a few miles over 5k to divide by 5. Same as regular syn with a bit more seal conditioning. Unlike VWB it didn't burn off at all. I'll probably use it again.
