They had one last year. I maxed it out. $5 per jug. I think it's selling so well now they don't need another one.

Garbage oil ........ use VALVOLINE RESTORE AND PROTECT

I could be wrong, but I suspect any Dexos Gen 3 oil that is GF7 is probably pretty good. Is it as good as Valvoline? I don't know. But is it garbage? Probably not.

Do you have any reason why it would be garbage, or provide substandard protection and lubrication?

I think most any name brand SQ,GF-7 Dexos gen 3 , would be a perfectly fine oil, providing you use a sensible oil change intervals , and a good filter,.

I think a change in formulation guarantees a change in performance. The question is not whether it's different, it's whether it's different enough to matter.

It's almost certainly the case that it performs differently but cannot be detected except within XOM's own labs. Within the crude resolution of spec meeting, it's indistinguishable in all probability.

if the is a change, but it is not one that is quantifiable, is there really a change?

my point was ...it is not the formulation, its the performance of the product that matters.

So Supertech?

The performance change is also not quantifiable. We all know that they are looking for ways to make things cheaper, and have us believe that performance is the same or better. Cheaper/faster/better

TRASH OIL. Used it for 6 OCI's 3500 miles and it didn't do anything. I used Valvoline R&P for only 3 OCI's 3500 and you could see the difference using a borescope. With Mobil 1 everything was still black in the cylinders.

Be careful, there are a lot of Mobil 1 fan boys here, though it does seem a bit odd it did not do much of anything, Valvoline R&P may be a better product which it is.
