Wanted to check opinions on these 2 oils --

IIRC Supertech is a group III {correct me if I'm wrong], a highly refined dyno.

Anyone know about the Valvoline...is it group III as well or group IV? I searched but didn't see a comment on it.

I'll probably go with the Valvoline, since it's only $3 more per 5 quart bottle.
 
Valvoline... Syntec?

With a few exceptions (e.g. GC), just about every synthetic on the shelf in the US are all or mostly group III.

As far as being on a budget, Valvoline Synpower is currently $1.49 after rebate if you play it right.

Super Tech Synthetic is Penzoil synthetic or Mobil synthetic oil, depending which side the Mississippi you are on.

Here's a MSDS sheet for a their regular oil:

Bad thing about Super Tech oil is that it's cheaper than the major brand oil and it's the same oil

You need to stop posting this, it's bad information.

In some parts of the country, Exxon Mobil supplies the conventional Super Tech (which they bottle themselves, in their Mobil Clean 5000 shaped bottles) and in other parts it may be Pennzoil. But much of the country gets oil that is blended and bottled by Warren Performance Products. All of the Super Tech synthetic oil is blended and bottled by WPP, and it is not supplied by Exxon Mobil or Pennzoil.

That MSDS is not the evidence you believe it is.

You are incorrect.
Supertech synthetic is neither Pennzoil or Mobil.

Please stop posting this misinformation on multiple threads . Supertech synthetic is blended and bottled by Warren.

Using MSDS 5 years old as proof...is no proof.

Thank you

...this week. The price of Freedom may be Eternal Vigilance. But the price of buying any of Walmart's house brands is Eternal Research. ;-)

Walmart Supertech Synthetic, in Texas, and west of the Mississippi, is bottled by Pennzoil (Shell Oil), not by Warren Products. Anyone that says it is all produced by Warren Products is misinformed, as usual.

Not according to Pennzoil. Pennzoil says the oils they do blend for the Super Tech line are oils blended to "Wal Mart specifications", not the same stuff they sell under their own name.

As usual? Well sir, you are also misinformed as I travelled to both MN and UT last year and every Walmart I visited carried ST syn supplied by WPP. In addition, while I was able to find a MSDS sheet with ST 5W30 supplied by SOPUS, I was UNABLE to find an MSDS sheet of ST Synthetic supplied by SOPUS.

I think at this point, if someone out west could provide verification of SOPUS supplied ST syn (perhaps a picture), that would be outstanding.
 
Both oils have shown good UOAs on here.
The Valvo may only be $3.00 more, but there is also a nice MIR on it, making it much cheaper after MIR than Supertech.
