I love it. Down here the 5/20 full syn only is a wpp product. Other grades r Citgo and delphin. It does great the whole 7500 oci.. Cheaper by$4 than nearest price gap (qsud) and msds is the same one as mag 1 5/20 full syn dexos. Why bother waisting money on more expensive stuff.
supertech 5w20 full syn

I agree, supertech is hard to beat for the price.
Use to do uoas with it.they were always good. Went 9000 one time and still had a good tbn and wear and all in this fusion I don't bother wasting money to test anymore.usually I tend to alter pyb 5000 to6000 one oci and st syn for 7500 the next.i dunno know why I alter for sure I guess cuz I like both oils.
I think Super Tech for 7,500 is under used. UOA of conventional went 7,700 for me with room to spare.
I'm doing a first run of the same oil and grade in my Kia for 7500 oci I'm halfway there and so far so good made the motor quieter than the dealer bulk that was in previous. All others was qsgb for 5k oci. I don't do uoas but feal better with this for 7500 than qsgb for 5000 just based on others uoas I've read. Might be the new oil for my kias.
I ran ST for 7k in the Focus. In all honesty; the QSGB 5w20 in the Focus is quieter
I bought ST 5w-20 synthetic for my Elantra and my engine ran erratically the entire time I ran it. My engine would surge when I would stop, I would hear the engine tap at times after making a long drive.
I am a big fan of Supertech products, especially their high mileage motor oil, but I can't do it in my Hyundai.
Someone mentioned that it may have been my oil filter, but I was using an OEM filter from the dealership.
Maybe I got a bad batch or something, but I won't be using it in my Hyundai again in the immediate future.
After I changed back to Pennzoil Ultra, everything became normal again in about a few hundred miles.

Same oil filter as before?

How long is your OCI with QSGB?

I changed the filter when I changed the oil, but both were from the case of OEM filters I bought from the dealership when I bought the car new.

Triple_seven; I am going 7,500k with the QSGB.
Not going to UOA it. I saw enough UOA's of QSGB to see its good enough for me

Isn't your Elantra supposed to take 30?

Hyundai/Kia is speced to 5w20.

Blaming this on the oil is highly speculative. I would take the car in and see what codes were thrown considering how 'erratic' the entire oci was.

I don't think there's much to speculate to be honest with you. There was one change that occurred and it ran differently. I changed the oil and filter out to what I was using previously and it ran normally afterwards.

It was coincidental then, I agree that an oil can't make an engine run "erratically". Especially a name-brand oil that meets a specification.
