Supertech now available in 0w16

[MrWideTires]

I was at Walmart picking up some boxed havoline synthetic 5w30 for the Ascent and to my surprise... Supertech (Warren) now has a 0w16!!

I moved the bottle around to compare the sound to 5w30 and it definitely sounded like a water jug lol.

No. It is API certified oil for engines designed for low viscosity oils. Your willful ignorance does not change FACT

I would love to see the magnetic drain plug after a 5K OCI of Supertech 0W16 on a 10 year-old Chevy 5.3. Someday, someone will make a mistake and buy it, by mistake.
I'd bet the metal scrappings would be quite thick going around that plug threads-area.

It happened to me once on my 99' 4.3 high-output Chevy S10. I was given 5w20 Quaker State synthetic and there was enough metal shavings @6K to cover my entire forefinger-face.

And that would somehow be the fault of the oil and not the user?

I edited my post and added more goodies.
So in answering your question, yes, my fault. I haven't used Quaker State since thou. Moving down only 1.5cst@100 should not have caused that much metal. I don't drive my vehicles hard. Rather-so I drive them lightly.

So anyone here deciding to gamble a-little and try the 0W16, think twice b/4 using it in a vehicle designed for thicker oil.

Can't wait to see a VOA. Plus, I wonder if any Group5 is used.
BTW.... that vehicle S-10 was donated two years ago. Badly rusted, but not dangerous yet. A hard-luck Nam' veteran was the recipient.

Someone can't take a joke

Saw the 0W16 at Almaty last weekend. Also am seeing the Rottella 5w20 Gas Truck oil.

Nice to have more affordable options in 0w16 for those who use it

Is this Sewing Machine Oil ?

I've seen people putting ATF in engine too, there's only so much you can do to prevent these.

Glad my 19 Avalon still specs the thick. 0w20! It's like pouring honey.

 

[andrewp1998]

0w 40 coming?

Exaaaaaactly! Putting 0w-16 into a GM V-8, which was never designed to run on 0w-16 would be total foolishness. A reflection (a bad one) upon the human involved, not the oil, nor the engine.

OK now, nice and slow, read the jug carefully: Motor Oil.
