Hello gentlemen, and first of all, let me thank everyone for the support and help and advice after my uncles passing. Other uncle; we dont know how much time he has, as brother, and my nephew(new to me nephew) saw him other night back home. Anyways, anyone here use the Super Tech syn in any grade? One of my co workers uses the Super Tech syn in his 97' I believe hatchback GEO METRO without problems. Has over 197k on it, without any issues. I thought bout using it in my 98' silverado with the 4.8 v-8, may just stick with my 6500 oci in both trucks with Super Tech conventional 5w30. Let me know what you guys think, and thank you in advance.

I wouldn't suggest a 6k OCI on ST unless you have used oil analysis to back it up and all highway driving.
Hello Brenden yeah, my commute is all highway 6 days a week. No problems in either of my trucks yet, and been using it since 02' as neighbor that I mentioned with 94' toyota truck had a 98' toyota 4x4 tacoma, with 200k on it, he gave to his son, still running good. Both trucks use/d Super Tech 5w30 thats all.
I've been "window shopping" in Walmart lately, and I see that the price of oil has gone through the roof.
I see that SuperTech conventional has the best price, and the Synthetic ST has the best price for synthetics.
Although I still have some Mobil 1 and some QS that is rated as SM, I see that both the above mentioned ST are rated SN.
Will the Synthetic ST go the full 7500 miles? Should I buy a couple 5 qt jugs?

Why use Super Tech Syn when QS UD is the almost the same price or just about a dollar more per 5Qt jug.

Because both will work the same.
I never understood why people think Walmart is going force Warren to make a cheaper product....big contract or not- Warren does not want to taint their rep in the market place, which would be near instant death for their sales in the consumer oil market.
Like the Peak syn, it's not the best, but should have no problems going 6k with that commute....

I didn't read the "syn" acronym after it, so I retract the previous statement I would the Super Tech Syn at a 6k interval, not the conventional, but at the 20 dollar price they charge for the syn, you might as well use Quaker State Ultimate Durability or Pennzoil Platinum for a dollar or two more.
I think that ST is a fine product, currently. However, in response to daves87rs, WM seems to have given more than one manufacturer the option to either cut corners or lose their contract renewal.
Use the Super Tech 5w30 syn in three vehicles over 100K and they run great. Can't see paying more. I do 5000 oci
used china mart Super Tech syn in the "ticket [censored]" for 3K+ OCI w/ confidence and no blowup, lol! but no longer...
I've used ST for top off fluids in all my vehicles. Never any issues.
Granted prices are different in other stores, but I don't see the point of using Super Tech. At my local Walmart SuperTech Synthetic costs $21.48 for five quarts while Pennzoil Platinum is $18.75 and Ultra is $22. Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy in a better grade is only $23. Super Tech synthetic is only 5w30 while I can get Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w30.

While true, I don't think these companies will be quaking in their boots either, since Walmart is starting to lose it's superpower status....
In many case they could even be someone else's house brand, like Meijer, who is shopping that contract right now.
Target is also considering their own house brand as well....

You can use it, I have plenty of times and no issues for up to about 6500 miles. I also agree PP is not the same price, it is about $4 plus more. Only the Quaker State Ultimate Durability that is comparable in price to Super Tech synthetic.
