It isn't a long drain oil, but used oil analysis have come back looking excellent. I think all of them that I've seen were the WPP oil.

XOM actually makes the oil in your area! This is well documented! Many MSDS to prove this FACT. SOPUS is on the west coast and Houston/Dallas area, with the majority being WPP.
For proof...Super Tech SOPUS msds

Another SOPUS msds...notice is the same address as the one above

I could easily provide the XOM, but I will let you all do your own homework lol.
I wouldn't hesitate to use it, but with how much it costs, it doesn't makes sense to use when I can get Mobil Super 5000 for the same price...or even Quaker State Conventional. Once all of my stash (very small might I add) of dino is gone, I will switch to syn PP because it's $19 here.

Depends on what part of the US you are in....but it is either going to be Warren (WPP) or Mobil.
Still a good oil either way...
I don't believe that any Super Tech synthetic is made by XOM. Most is made by WPP, but SOPUS does make some of it.
The SOPUS 5 quart jug looks like this
The WPP jugs look like this
The only similarity between the QS clear bottles and the WPP clear bottles is that they are clear, and contain a quart of oil. The shapes do not match, and neither does the contents.
I like that top bottle...

wonder how it compares to Mobil 1 Synthetic?
Is Supertech synthetic better than the best conventional? That is the question ...

If i saw ST at my store, id give it a shot.
If not.. im liking the Supertech in the blue jug more and more.
Ive used this oil on and off over the years, and, honestly? I like it.
Its like a comparable to the other stuff on the shelf, at half the cost. Sold!

Really? Supertech syn is $21 here, PP is $18.95, their dino is more than Mobil Super 5000 here.

Well that would be consistent with the $4.87 a quart, wouldnt it
As i said, i see a LOT of the 10w30 - not 5w30 - on the shelf, and i see no need for it. Even though it "looks" like good oil.
Im a purchaser of the blue jug oil, every time ive boght it it has been as good as the Nextgen that is in the green bottles, slightly over on the shelf. (btw, the Resource Conserving is sold in jugs. The Maxlife Nextgen isnt.)
I end up flipping a coin, mentally. Some cars id go one, some cars id go the other. Its hard to say. But i dont usually spend for synthetic. No need.
Blug jug ST wins 75% of the time............
EDIT: Last time i bought ST conventional, it cost either $11.87 or $12.87 for 5 quarts. So.... Walmarts really are different! And that wa sa week or two ago. It went up $1 i think.

Back when I considered Super Tech oils to be a bargain, I convinced myself to start using them. Then the Super Tech prices took a big jump to being fairly comparable to name brand oils. There was not enough of a financial savings to make it worth while.
I did use Super Tech synthetic for two oil changes. Mixed it three quarts Super Tech synthetic to two quarts Pennzoil Platinum to use up the two 5qt bottles that I had purchased.

What I want to know is in the OH/PA areas since I am not real close to the coast; who makes the Super Tech oils?

Curved bottle is WPP, and angular is eXOM. Ive posted up pics before. (XOM is a "Widemouth" bottle, WPP looks older its just different jug.)
You will probably see a little more XOM i have found them to be the more popular of the two.
The more i know about oil, the more i rather like Super Tech oil.

The bottle I still have is the 5qt jug and its angular, and it says WPP on the bottom. Does MOBIL use WPP to make the bottle or?

All of the WPP jugs (except gallons) in my area now look like this:
The XOM bottles (not available here) look like this:

By me Quaker State Conventional is the same price and the ST is sold out or leaking..
guess what I buy.
Based on what has been presented, i guess Quaker State Conventional!
Buying somethin that is sold out is impressive and admirable, however. Why do you think its sold out.
