That's the word I'm getting anyway. I guess we'll wait and see if this is just regional or if it's a nationwide move.
Are you sure this was new? The first few months of supertech filters back in 2000ish were kind of a purplish blue.quote:
when I walked over to the oil filters, they had lighter boxes and a very light blue filter inside... looked kinda cheap, and on the box it said 98% and 94% filtering instead of the old 98/99.... I wasn't too happy about that find, although it was just one number filter so far
hopefully that's all it is.... although this was a different color from the blue it used to be before they changed them to black.quote:

I noticed the new bottles had W something on the bottom.. not sure what the next two letters were though.quote:
Warren also molded the plastic bottles for the Supertech oil.
If someone gets the chance, check the new blue colored bottles for "WPP" (Warren Performance Products) molded into the bottom.
Party poop! How dare you attempt to silence a juicy internet rumor!quote:

Of course never mind that some of the majors supply different formulations under the same name (US vs German Castrol Syntec and various Shell come to mind) and change Formulas at the drop of the hat with no notice to the consumer (ie Pennzoil LongLife is now just rebottled Shell Rotella T). And exactly how many different formulas of Mobil 1 10W-30 have existed?quote:

Sounds like a global, uniform product distribution decision to change vendors. Now, all we need is an analysis of the "full" synthetic product.quote:

It's true--the SuperTech oil is now supplied by Exxon/Mobil. I don't know all the details of the decision to go from Warren to Exxon/Mobil
