Any links? I couldnt find any of the super s weights out of spec in the pqia databaseI used this oil a few times in a Monte Carlo I used to own. I won’t use it again anytime soon.
PQIA found that the oil didn’t meet certain specs.

Yes, I could obviously do this but the fee is a mere 10 dollars less. I just want to discuss and get others personal opinion and direct experience with the productWhy not propose to your mechanic, that you will supply the oil (your choice - brand name or otherwise) and he can charge you the usual or a little less for the service. You get peace of mind and he get to keep his profit margin.
Odd, I’m not able to find it either anymore. Let me dig through my history and see if I can find it.Any links? I couldnt find any of the super s weights out of spec in the pqia database
Please elaborate. Is it not fit for 5k runs?It is a lower tier oil.
Any luck?Odd, I’m not able to find it either anymore. Let me dig through my history and see if I can find it.

Thanks bbhero. Just checked my oil today after about 1500 miles on the fill. Doesn’t look like the level budged much at all. The oil did seem to darken a bit faster than chevron supreme but we know that doesn’t mean much of anything, just an observation. If it grenades, I’ll be sure to let the board knowI have looked up every single Super S and Cam2 motor oil tested by PQIA....
All of their motor oils have passed their testing just fine.
Now the ATF Custom Plus Dexmerc did have too high a Brookfield test result.
And you are right .... Super S and Cam2 use the same additive package treat rates.... The last Super S and Cam2 Superpromax were almost perfectly identical to each other.
And Super S full synthetic carries the same Dexos approval number has Cam2 full synthetic oil.
I would…if my mechanic didn’t tempt me with $30 oil changes. To bring my own oil and filter it would cost $20 for labor. I’d probably use Kirkland all day otherwise.*Any major name brand oil from WM would be better to use ...
Unfortunately not.Any luck?
All good my dude. Thanks for lookingUnfortunately not.
I must have either been mistaken or the testing has been lost to the dark corners of the inter web.
Take what I said with a grain of salt, don’t want to be the source of misinformation. My apologies.
2007 was solidly an API classification "SM" year.If it meets SP standards, it meets the standards. It will be fine for 5-6k
And as with any oil, it's cheaper by the drum than by the bottle. Also, 2007 cars only had SL
If you like to save money, I'd just switch to a full synthetic like Mobil 1 and just do the rebates when they have it. Maybe up your change interval to 8-10k.I would…if my mechanic didn’t tempt me with $30 oil changes. To bring my own oil and filter it would cost $20 for labor.

I’m just here verifying the “big” claims made by posters previously in this thread
I think he’s right though. My cap still calls out SL. Probably from when the 1GR-FE was designed
I guess I could…but that would mean getting in trouble with my apartment complex. I could change it at my dads…but then I need to drop off the old oil at autozone…I’ll take the $30 oil changeIf you like to save money, I'd just switch to a full synthetic like Mobil 1 and just do the rebates when they have it.
