Hello everyone,
I know smittys super s multi flow pcmo has been discussed here off and on throughout the years. My mechanic, fed my 2007 4runner a healthy diet of chevron supreme for several years. All at the tune of $30 bucks per oil change which IMO can’t be beat.
Just this past oil change I saw he started using super s 5w-30 syn blend. They have api SP certs and that should be all I need. I can’t help but think this super s might be even lower quality than most generics on the shelves since it’s price point was so low and it’s from a small blender that not many know about (10 bucks per 5 quarts at Kmart for a while). I’ve read posts here claiming it’s a blend that only contains 10% group III/IV base stocks. The spec sheet shows an average add pack with a small hit of moly and decent slug of boron, Tbn of 7.1, and high noack of almost 14% (I believe this is the sn or sn+ Variety)
You guys think I’ll be fine for my regular 5-6k runs? I have a 50 mile round trip commute most days of the week where I do 75-80 mph. Car has 160k on it.
Thanks
