First off... was at three different Walmart's this week looking for some SuperTech 10w-30 for my Buick. What was very strange was the lack of supply and especially the the 10w-30 grade.
I finally found a few jugs on the third stop. I've been a huge Supertech fan and now that pricing (20k version) is around $26 per 5Qt's, I have been thinking about my oil changes along with filter selection.
Lately, My (preferred) WIX/NAPA filters have climbed in cost and along with the SuperTech. I recently stopped at my local O'Reilly store to get a few things and was impressed by the Microguard filter they have. More importantly, they have a "combo deal" for oil and filter and it's an attractive deal.
Any thoughts on the Syntec or O'reilly synthetic oil vs. Supertech? I'm reading they are manufactured by two different companies. I know this is is nit-picking... but??
I'm not going to use a Fram Filter. And I'm not going to use a SuperTech filter. (Don't want to get into that debate here.) Know that... I think I'll be okay with making a switch to the O'Reilly's oil and filter deal. It's a Buick and not some highly stressed German twin turbo beast.
I haven't read much on the new Syntec oil... Any thoughts?
