I like and use SuperTech Synthetics BUT the one thing that does bother me a bit is that other than Dexos they dont list any Manufacturer approvals on the back. You would think since they procalim the Dexos on the front they would list the Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota approvals someplace.
Not trolling, but all things being equal, why not just use SuperTech for everything?

Wasn't tying to compare ... just showing some crazy stuff Walmart is doing with on-line oil prices. Maybe it's a good time to get some of that if still possible instead of looking for regular sale prices or rebates.
because the warren copypastes are fairly high noack, low end II+/III blend oils and probably not much better than the SP-only offerings out there. that’s not to say it isn’t more than enough for the average driver.
Being SP and d1G2 pretty much covers the OEM approvals.

Not willing to risk it with today's TGDI engines. Subaru recommends every 6,000 miles.
but at the oci’s mentioned by the op, does this even matter from a wear standpoint?
Really? Do you have documentation to back up your claim? If true they are doing some amazing things with group II+ and III+ base stocks.

Simple answer - I don't care what other people are using for their oil choice, I worry about what I can control in life.
Their new "basic" synthetic is a 10k oil and their "advanced" is a 20k oil.
I too was a M1 user since 1976. Tried SuperTech two years ago and never looked back.
Did he conclude that because the vehicle was doing top speed runs on the autobahn?
What was the cause?I’m actually OK with Super Tech however keep in mind that many companies meet the API specs and that’s it. Some companies, especially with continuous R&D programs, might beat those specs but it’s all hard to prove. For myself I have 220,000 miles on an engine that used various name brands of synthetic oils, none of which were Super Tech. If you have 220,000 miles on yours using Super Tech you can share bragging rights. It not...well......

I think beyond the bottle. ST can’t exist without large integrated petrochemical companies. OEM’s rely on these companies to reach the next level together. I work globally and the aviation, marine, ground transportation, heavy equipment, and power generation sectors I am emerssed in rely on the big companies …
I buy plenty other things from Walmart and ST is a pretty limited purchase for me …

I think of SuperTech oil as being like the toilet tissue at the office, while GTL base stock PP is like the toilet tissue at home. Both perform the exact same function but........
That said their new 20k synthetic may prove your point exactly.

20K intervals won't work in all engines. There's no way that's a good idea in a TGDI engine.

If they made a 5w-40 A3/B4 oil I would.
I don't use it cause I have 1 more Valvoline for 2.00 qt. And enough RGT for 3 years bought at 1.00 a qt.
go read the SDS and then go one by one and look for C15-30 in every base oil offering. petrocanada is the only ones offering a base oil with that in their SDS. both their second lightest GII and GIII are listed to use it, but VHVI (III) has the extra remark "baseoil unspecified"
more than likely it is a blend
