People with high mileage vehicles who run supertech full synthetic oil

That's typically going to take a lot more time to manifest - an astute owner changing their own oil and frequently monitoring the dipstick is going to notice consumption first.

It's funny, and actually a bit counterintuitive, but the fact that VRP now exists on the market actually makes me more likely to continue using my "cheap" oil than less likely. Because if my motors ever do start to burn oil (which for my specific motors is very unlikely), well, I'll switch to VRP at that point, and chances are it will solve the problem - as we've seen here in numerous threads. So until I see oil burning, why burn money?

Nothing is without risk. And everything is a trade off. In one application maybe it’s fine. In another other application maybe not.

Like I said in an earlier post my daughter’s car has Supertech in it right now. It’s an older, high mileage, port injection engine that doesn’t noticeably burn oil or dilute. No need to spend more. But then there is my wife’s two year old hybrid where I’m certainly willing to spend a little more to keep its more complex engine in good condition.

Best part is you know you won’t get stuck oil control rings with R&P. The Supertech option would depend on engine/conditions.

Im just going to rotate between ST and VRP when I change my oil. Price will average out and engine will get a deep clean every other change.
