Supertech synthetic now meets GM 4718

[ARCOgraphite]

The Clear bottles of STS just stocked at our local Wally world are API SM. I suppose you want a photo of this too!

Mobil says M1 0W-20 is approved for GM 4718 M.

I just used M1 0w30 in my Caddy, that also meets GM 4718 specs.

ST Syn (silver), SM (WPP), I haven't looked/found new ST 5w20, but I would bet that will have to be SM.

FYI, the new bottle ST 5w20 is SM spec.

I use the M1 0w30 AFE. I know that meets the GM 4718 specs for my Caddy.

Also comes in 0W-30.

I noticed this viscosity for the first time while I was in WM today (Canada). As I recall it was mid $7 (Cdn) for a litre. I guess there have been UOAs for this particular Tech2000?

I have not seen any in my area yet. But If and when my local Wally World gets some in , I will do a VOA and TBN.

Hmmm....

Saw it at another Walmart tonight, hiding behind the old stock of 5W-30. I've only seen the new stuff in 10W-30.

The clear bottle looks like a QS Synpower bottle.

Nope - Engine ran bad. For those of us who know when an engine is running good without a stinking UOA. Noisy, low power, bad rev-ability. Engine runs poor - UOA is moot.

For anyone willing to put up with the "Noisy, low power, bad rev-ability" for a full OCI it might be interesting to see if a UOA would confirm that the oil is actually not doing its job of protecting its engine or if they are independent of each other.

Just saw my first bottle....10w30. I wonder why nobody saw a 5w30 yet? And they do look like QS bottles....
