I know people think it was Warren Beatty, but I have solid information that it was James Taylor.

You guys should be careful; these are the kind of threads that get farrarfan1 upset.
Soap probably cleans better, but Super Tech will keep your engine running fine when changed accordingly.

Well this is a pretty worthless thread so far.
In regards to supertech's cleaning abilities? Expect the same results as you would with most other pcmo's on the market. They'll do a great job of keeping things clean, but do not expect them to be able to clean up any varnish or sludge.
In regards to who makes supertech, from what i understand it varies, there is no one company. Warren Distribution is one of them.
sxg6,
Therein lies the question - has ANY oil shown abilities at cleaning varnish and/or sludge ? There's a lot of discussion on this on BITOG right now - the only "yes" I think I've seen that had "visual data" is Merkava's take on Maxlife.

this will definitely require a retort by Merkava.. come out come out wherever you are..
Oils that I have personally seen diminish the varnish layer visible in my engines are:
Syntec 5W-30 and 5W-20
CJ-4 rated Delo 400 and Rotella T 15W-40
RTS
Syntec 5W-30 and 5W-20
CJ-4 rated Delo 400 and Rotella T 15W-40
RTS
That makes sense on Delo and Rotella - if it can be done you'd think these would be the candidates.
BTW, I wasn't questioning Merkava on his "visual data", I was honestly just saying his was the only positive report I remember seeing.

The Syntec and Syntec blend have an ester basestock content of about 10%-15%. Cleanest engines I have ever seen were on Syntec 5W-30.
I fro wun use Sooper Tek and Isee nothin rong withit.
I'm not sure what (if any) the reasons are, but it seems like Syntec is just not on BITOGs radar near as much as other oils. Every brand name seems to get ink smeared everywhere around here - but not much on Syntec. Is it just me?

These don't bother me in the least, just a couple of guys trying unsuccessfully to be funny. It's the ones by posters like you that really don't know much about the subject but want the attention so bad that they give their opinions in nearly every topic. You and a handful of habitual posters have turned this place into a joke.
You're right Eric, it's just a "take" since I can't offer any proof; however, I still stand by my testimony of Maxlife being the superpower cape crusader of engine oils.

It is a shame that non GC Syntecs and Syntec Blends aren't discussed more on this forum. They are excellent formulations that work, and UOA's posted in this forum prove it. Most Syntecs are Group III/V blends, while Syntec Blends are Group II/V blends. The GC and Elixion are Group IV/V blends with very potent add pack. Why reach for the cheapest oil on the shelf?
16,000 BITOGrs and the one w/o a sense of humor reads our hilarious thread.

Sounds like the Farrari's Valvoline needs to be upgraded to a SOPUS, Schaeffer or Amsoil product.
Fret Not farrarifan1!!!
Lots of habitual posters here to help you make the turnaround.
