Supertech Synthetic or Havoline Conventional 5w30?

[oilchangeguy]

Need opinion on which oil would be better for 4k OCI in 2015 Ram v6.

Whichever you can get cheaper

I vote Havoline

 

[oilchangeguy]

Walmart has Havoline conventional in 6 qt boxes for $13+-

I would try supertech synthetic. Any reason why you limited it to just two oils?

I have the same engine in the caravan and it loves Pennzoil platinum.

 

[oilchangeguy]

both seemed like great values.

Super Tech Synthetic gets my vote. Around here it even meets Dexos 1 Gen 2. Great value oil with no rebates needed.

What ever is cheaper. Unless you keep it in the crank case for a long time, 4k is nothing on either oil.

 

[cheesepuffs]

I would go with any API rated synthetic over any conventional. Better flow when cold, higher flash point when hot, and should allow longer service interval.

Yep I just picked up some Havoline ProDS for $13 a Jug and got a $5 rebate per Jug!
Be patient and plan ahead.

Never heard of it.

 

[Jimzz]

4k? But why?

Even regular oil should work fine for 5k.


So yea I agree, which ever is cheapest.

 

[mx5miata]

4k changes Havoline Dino is fine, I wouldn't waste the synthetic on such short OCI.

 

[jongies3]

Havoline has my vote, better oil and no need for synthetic at a 4000 mile interval.

Me too.

Submitted the rebate online and attached a photo of my Amazon receipt. Can't get any easier than that.

Sometimes Wal Mart site has Chevron Supreme foe $11-12 5quart jug

always syn

Another vote for whichever is cheaper. Heck with that minimal mileage for an oil change -- why not save yourself acouple extra bucks yet and run a Super Tech filter instead of that Mopar filter -- "unless" your running the Mopar filter for multiple oil changes?

I wont use Citgo stuff or support Venezuela. Which is why I'm using Magnatec
