I am watching this thread with interest. I have used a lot of ST before but now that Warren has been sold and it looks like there are questions about the two different ST Synthetics I looked at different options. I have oil changes to do this weekend on both my own and my wife's Nissan Rogue. I will not have time to get to WM in person so I ordered oil and filters online last night to be delivered to my house tomorrow. ST regular 0W20 was $17.98, Valvoline Advanced 0W20 was $22.47. With the $5.00 per jug rebate Valvoline is right around the same price as ST but even without the rebate its only a few bucks more for name brand Valvoline so it makes sense.
I don't know what is going on with ST. I saw a couple threads where people were questioning the difference between the regular ST and Advanced ST, some say there is no difference in add packs and it may just be a marketing trick. I like the white ST Champ oil filters but they have not had the ST6607 in stock at my WM for weeks now. I wonder what is really going on and if we might soon see a new supplier for our beloved ST. For now it's back to Valvoline and Fram for me.
Well it doesn't really do away with HM oil it just renames it in an attempt to lose the stigma attached to the words HM. Different day same BS no the people that won't put HM in their cars half of them may be ok with it.

Hi guys, wondering if anyone has any thoughts or analysis on the new Supertech "Advanced" Synthetic. It's $16.50 (only $2 more than the regular synthetic) and claims to be good for 20,000 miles. Hoping this is a situation like the Mobil Extended Performance where we get more anti-wear additives...
