Ok, I've done the searches and read everything I can find on Wal-Mart's house brand of motor oil. In the US it's called Super-Tech. In Canada I think it's called Tech2000.
What I've read is that their full synthetic is actually a hydrocracked GroupIII if I remember correctly. This is just a dino oil that has been turned into a synthetic by changing it's properties. Correct?
Well, here's where I am confused. I checked out a bottle of the 10W-30 full synthetic the other day and it stated on the back that it was a blend of 100% synthetic base stock and a petroleum additive package. To me that's saying it's a real synthetic.
Now, when I read other synthetic oil labels some said nothing about what they were made of and others (Motorcraft specifically comes to mind) said that it was made from a base stock of hydrocracked dino oil. It actually stated this on the label on the backside.
So, is this Wal-Mart brand stuff real or cracked? Is there a way to actually end this debate? The threads I saw went back over a year on this stuff but because no one could say with 100% certainty who made it for Wallyworld no one knew what it was really made of.
So, who has the real poop?
