SuperTech News

[Bob The Builder]

I just heard from a friend that worked at Pennzoil for 28 years, that Quaker State bought them, and then Shell bought the whole kitandkaboodle. Interesting.


Edit: I just found out that a company called Warren Oil Does the oil and packaging under the SuperTech name now. Also, Supertech synthetic is all G3 oil.

Super-Tech has several different suppliers depending on the part of the country. Here in RI they recently switched from Warren to Exxon so I'm more comfortable using it now as I know (at least for now) that it's coming from a major oil company with decades of oil formulation experience. Wasn't so sure with Warren.

With Warren, you can get supertech, coastal, Valuecraft at autozone, sears spectrum.

Just an FYI, Constar is actually a bottle blower, they don't fill the bottles for Shell. I believe Shell is now using bottles from a different vendor however.

The Warren supplier in Southern Michigan has been Citgo. I do not know if SuperTech Oil in Southern Michigan is afflilated with Warren. I would imagine that in whatever state the Walmart Distribution Warehouse is - that deals with Southern Michigan - would be the place to ask. I'm not sure if Michigan gets their Supertech from a WalMart distribution center in another state or if Warren provides it locally.

Wal-mart has a dc in Coldwater, MI. I work at the dc in ohio and the supertech motor oil we get comes from exxonmobil, via a Paulsboro, NJ refinery.

At present, the way to tell if the supertech oil is from exxonmobil, is that they use the same bottles as the mobil dino oils.

Sounds like Warren & SuperTech are not brother-sister here in Michigan. Hard to tell with any non-brand name oil. Just because it's bottled exactly like Exxon or Citgo Oils does not mean the additive package is the same.

I don't gamble with 25 grand vehicles. I'll buy a name brand & leave the house brand on the store shelf.

At Walmqart last night they had the new Supertech oils including the SM/GF4/A3 10w30 full synthetic. All the bottles had WPP on the bottom. (TX)
