New ST oil coming?

[jayjr1105]

I do wonder if this is just one of the new changes we'll see from Warren oil's new ownership?

Wouldn't this be Walmart's R&D dept decision and Warren just saying, "okay, we'll make you that"

Could it be a new label to coincide with SP and GF6 approval.

ST seems like good oil . I still wouldn’t use it personally that’s just me .

VALVOLINE™ ADVANCED FULL SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL (FORMERLY SYNPOWER™)​

I'm using the synthetic hm 5w-30 in my truck right now, along with Kirkland's 5w-30 in my malibu.

I'd run in it out to 10k on a late model vehicle.

It should go 10 k under ideal conditions. Most of us fall under the severe catergory though

My guess is they're trying to make their labeling more competitive to Mobil1, vanilla Mobil1 is "Advanced Synthetic" and says it's good for 10000mi, so Wal-Mart's trying to build off that marketing.

Yes I doubt seriously there has been any real significant change to the oil!

I already take the cheaper stuff to 10K. They need to add a couple more stars before I'll jump.

This is just Walmart/Supertech high-mileage, full synthetic with new labeling. Walmart is not going to stock variations of their own high-mileage, synthetic. The old ones (without the 10k miles reference on the label) will go away.

I'd say "most" people do not fall under severe driving conditions. A lot of people want to, like it's a badge of honor, but I doubt they do. I have read your commute and yes, in your case, that's severe.

I would submit to you that in reality most people who don't care enough about their vehicles and vehicle maintenance are going with the longest prescribed maintenance interval even if in reality they do in fact fully qualify for the severe schedule.

 

[bbhero]

Or well beyond that prescribed distance... Space cadet central out there.

 

[Bryanccfshr]

Extra marketing same good oil

Dexos ? This here would say 7500 miles

 

[ARB1977]

Looks like I found my next oil.

More people will change the oil when their car's built-in "system" tells them to. Is that wrong ?

 

[4WD]

Does that labeling justify another $10 to $20 a Jug like it did with Mobil AP and Valvoline modern engine?

My Mobil 1 AP is between 60-70% PAO ...
You saying that’s just a label ?
