Supertech 0w-40 5qt exists? But isn't for sale or at least yet?

Wow, you have FOUR different Super Tech (aka SuperTech) options! We only have two in Ontario that I know of, Full Synthetic and High Milage Full Synthetic.

0W-40 SuperTech is carried by our nearest Walmart now, as well.

Saw it at mine as well two days ago. Don't know if I'll ever get the chance to try it since there are other more preferable options I'd rather get at a similar price. Maybe if they lower it to a more sensible 20-23.

Price point makes it tough to choose this over Mobil 0w-40

Or Quaker State Euro 5w-40 or Pennzoil Euro L 5w-30. For me, I'm looking for BMW LL-01 or LL-04 approvals for my BMWs

That’s not the only thing, the lack of actual approvals is also a factor.

Meets the Porsche A40 requirement and is only two stars.

There's no reason to buy it, IMO, if the company that sells the product gives it only two stars out of a possible five that they give for other oil.

Went to Walmart yesterday for some stuff and saw it as well. I haven't been inside Walmart in about a year so was surprised to see they offered it now. Seems rather expensive for store brand.

Surprisingly high PAO content. Higher than EM/Castrol

Today I learned msds.walmartstores.com was a thing and tried it with other oils. I'll have to save that for later.

That's why I was surprised about it in post #4 and figured it may not be overpriced at $27 if it can deliver a 12.8 kv100 with 3.7 hths, a respectable noack and lower vii than castrol and likely mobil 0w-40.

But with 60% pao I'm considering it now.

Yup. Good base oil for sure. But, the detergent formulation, Anti-wear package and viscosity thickener might be inferior to EM/Castrol.

I seen this ST 0w40 in my local WM yesterday. I agree on the price point. If it was $19 like the rest of the 10K ST synthetics it would be a good deal but not at $27. Pritzker initially priced the ST synthetics very high when they bought out WPP and eventually reduced them most likely due to lack of sales (competing against QS and others on "Rollback").....I'm betting that will happen with this 0w40 ST...probably down to $22 or $23.

Even then with no actual approvals on it, for $5 I'd be hard pressed to pick that one over one that has the approvals.
