Why are you all of a sudden hating on recycled/re-refined oil in the first place!? Have you ever saw CRUDE/RAW oil straight out of the ground? If not dont go putting nonsense/words, and b.s. in my mouth. have a good day! For the record, I have been with my company over 11 yrs now and YES we use RECYCLED/RE REFINED MOTOR OIL in every vehicle in our fleet; no problems. You happy now? good.
thanks
back on topic folks, keep the stories coming

I dont like NAPA'S add pack even if it is from Valvoline, and valvoline does not produce their own oil like M1, SHELL, CONOCO PHILLIPS, CASTROL, KENDALL and others do. I like that MAG1 makes Super Tech OILS.
Valvoline actually blends their own oil from other people's basestocks, like NextGen is actually blended from Safety Kleen's basestock. I agree on the NAPA oil-it is an even weaker additive mix than Valvoline conventional. Ashland, the parent company of Valvoline, doesn't have any oil reserves of their own-but if you've ever crossed into WV from KY on I-64 & gone by their refinery in Catlettsburg-they have the ability to do a lot!

How did this thread turn into a pro-NAPA oil thread? They don't carry the oil that the OP wants, lets move on.
shell_user: is Supertech in your area available as 0w20 or just 5w20?

Mobil 1 would not sell their formula to WAL MART.
It might be a variation of Mobil but definitely not Mobil 1.

5W20, but I have some MAG1 0W20 in my HUGE stash also. Like 15 5qt jugs of the MAG 1 stuff. It is made by same company that ST is so its all good. I just dislike the add pack NAPA uses, so enough bashing other store brands.

MAG1 should be decent, too. They even have a dexos1 offering.

It's made by WPP here in SC. and it's SN ILSAC GF5,so why not?!.
That's the Warren stuff. My Walmart bow has G stamped on their Supertech so I don't know who makes it. For WPP, most likely their PDS is same as Accel's Full Synthetic line:

If a long drain is what your looking for, NAPA and SYNPOWER are probably not what you want. but one sure thing is that according to used oil analysis Valvoline oils provide excellent wear protection, if not the very best if your counting ppm's.
I try to not get hung up on Add packs. The best used oil analysis ive ever had were on MSS which many will say has a "weak" add pack. i will take a weak add pack and low wear over a stout add pack and higher wear any day.
NAPA and ST meet the exact same requirements, the performance will be very similar.

I think the commercial is from 1965. That is the year City Service changed to CITGO, and the car at the gas pumps is a 1965 Impala.
