Super Tech High Mileage Synthetic Oil

[Legs4Arms]

The OP doesn't look for either one. And Supertech is an ILSAC oil.

Just fed up with Valvoline Restore and Protect lol.
My bad.
Reading comprehension ftl...

Nothing wrong with an oil that has proper ratings/specs for your application. SuperTech definitely falls into this category.

And yes, it also comes in 0W-20.

And you've always got Valvoline Restore and Protect to bail you out when and if you start burning oil.

I've used Supertech High Mileage Synthetic 5w20 in my Previous vehicle (2018 Ecosport with 2.0 engine) with no issues. its a good oil for someone on a budget.

How many miles did you put on it?

Naturally aspirated but GDI though so still fairly hard on oil.

I put 118k miles on it before I traded it in for my current car (they made offer I couldn't refuse), and engine was clean as a whistle with very little oil consumption (1/2 qt per 5-7k miles).

I wouldn't run a 20 grade oil personally, especially from Warren oil, but it's a BITOG favorite for sure, and you'll be hard pressed to find people who will admit to issues running it here. I suspect there are some issues but you won't find people admitting to them.

If you do a search, you'll find some good threads.

Why not use Supertech for everything?
People with high mileage who run SuperTech

Here's a link to the SuperTech PDS. 12% Noack. Yeah, no thanks.

Nah......12%.....many Valvoline products have 12%.....they just state "less than" 15%.

Nothing wrong with ST

I use it whenever I can't get the Costco oil on sales. Same stuff, works fine. Don't need to spend a king's ransom to treat your vehicle well.

I might be wrong, but Dexos standard for current gm vehicles HTHS is 2.9....this SuperTech 5w30 shows 3.2 for HTHS, above board in that regard at least.

EHC?

EHC?

EHC is ExxonMobil’s GrpII+ and used on top of GrpIII and still able to be called “synthetic” in the USA. It is assumed that Super Tech, Kirkland, and even Mobil’s Mobil Synthetic - and of course Delvac HDEO use what they can to maximize profits …
It’s produced in Texas - so I expect more pressure than ever to maximize production …

Thanks for that info.

I am not on the train of "synthetic or bust".....what ever works IMO.

Yeah, it’s a good base stock …

Hard to argue with results.

A plan to run Valvoline Restore and Protect every 100k would be a viable option honestly, if someone wanted to save money.

They probably do. You're right. We just don't know because they don't tell us.

 

[Auto tech]

Re refined base stocks per warren. Still good enough for vehicles as long as it meets the specs of said vehicle

 

[Auto tech]

Re-refined according to warren

Different paths, but none are dead ends.
