HAVOLINE® PRO-DS® FULL SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL

Checked my local WalMart today - 5W30 and 5W20 boxes on the shelf were still GF-5, with production dates showing July 30, 2020.

i think they just updated the labeling on their website, so I’d expect a slow transition over the next couple months.

Chevron lubetek representative told me they started manufacturing SP September 1.

Glad I went back to Mobil1 for my last oil change. I’ll give the SP smart change box another shot when the transition is complete.

They didn’t publish Noack figures this time around either, similar to what some of the others have started to do. Maybe they feel it’s redundant since the specification calls for Noack to be below a certain percentage?

I believe you are likely correct in this.

Cam2 Superpromax semi synthetic lists the Noack less than 13 percent. Which makes sense to me because they say it has the approval for ACEA A5/B5... Good enough for me.

One of my local WM has them on occasion the Renton store but they usually always online! Lately they've been on line for $15 and change. A good deal for 6 quarts of quality full synthetic oil. I've used it and it worked well in the Corolla.

Did it work as well as Super Tech?

Probably the same but then does Super Tech work better than Costco Kirkland brand I doubt is since they are made by the same company. Last Kirkland was $12 and change a jug.

I bet with SP I get 10 1to 20 mpg more than with SN+. Either that or I won't notice any difference.

I see the stuff carries the dexos certification. Maybe I'll see if my local WM has these 6-qt. packs, pick up a good filter, and have them ready for the change in December.

Havoline Pro DS works better for sure...

Supertech has the single wide trailer approval on it meaning it does not work quite has well as other similarly rated oils. Look for the single wide trailer symbol on the containers. Just above the UPC code.

I was being sarcastic with JJ. Guess you didn't quite get it.

And I was just being facetious and playing around in general....
