pp 5w30 vs supertech full synthetic

[CheezWhiz]

2016 2500HD, 6.0 vortec, 70k miles. AAFES has Pennzoil Platinum for about a buck more than Walmart supertech when you consider that I don't pay WA sales tax at AAFES.

Does PP have any advantage over Supertech full synthetic? I never saw any reason to run anything other than Supertech, but if the price of PP 5w30 is basically the same I may as well do a little research on it.

Pen.
Supertech will need to prove itself again to me with new owners

Supertech is losing its place as the good enough cheap oil. might as well run your favorite brand when its 25c more per quart.

Why? Has ST lost its formula? A new VOA show less robust?

Its lost/losing its low price

Highline raised the prices.

I see. I just bought two 5qt bottles at Costco of the Kirkland variety for 29.00. Says warren on the bottle. same same. I'm still gonna use it.

I'd go with PP for $1 more , lower NOACK and GTL formula will keep internals cleaner .

 

[CheezWhiz]

yeah i mean supertech was noticeably inexpensive and good quality. even assuming the quality has stayed the same, the price differential to PP considering no sales tax on PP makes it seem worth considering a change.

Didn't the ST supplier get bought out? That might explain it if so.

Highline is the owner now.

PP is a group III+ compared to a group III. Higher VI and fewer needed additives for the Penn.

Also costco house brand is the same stuff as WM, and the normal price is $64. for four jugs. $3.25 per quart.

Actually Highline and warren Distribtion were 2 existing companies that were recently bought by Pritzker Private Capital.

As long as it doesn't burn, use ST. If using PP for $1 more gives you warm fuzzies, then use it. In the end, maintenance and using a good oil filter is 1000x more important than brand of oil.

It isn't highline but this merger sounds disturbing
