SuperTech motor oil

[nascarnation]

Engines have all kinds of problems, many of which have little or nothing to do with the lube oil.

But we can say with confidence that engines run on oils that meet the OEM requirement, kept topped up within the dipstick band, and changed at OEM recommended intervals rarely have lube oil related failures.

Where did I say it was as good as Amsoil? That info has yet to be ascertained by anyone.

If ST oil is as good as Amsoil then everyone and their brother would be using it and the big name oil brands would go out of business plain and simple because nobody would be buying them anymore.


This seems to happen with almost every thread on SuperTech oil is posted. You always have the camp that confuses cheap vs. value. While SuperTech is cheap in price, it offers value when grade,vehicle oil specifications are OCI are matched to it.



Nobody is confusing cheap vs value. Like I said a few times already. If you wanna run ST oil and filters and have luck with them then by all means use them. If you wanna have piece of mind and don't wanna have to worry about "what if's" then run something better in it plain and simple. Not saying it's the worst oil in the world and everyone who uses it is bad. Im just saying some people will have more piece of mind using a better oil. That is all. Oh and if you noticed in my post that you quoted I said the engines that had problems ran cheap oil. I never said they ran ST oil.


No you didn't but it was nice of you to make that very clear. I have used and may well use ST again in my life. For now I am using the Motorcraft, PYB, and QS stash I have for my F150. Later I may even move it to Chevron Supreme. As I said though ST is always possible for me.

Show us the facts.

Anyone who says ST just meets the specs obviously doesn't read PQIA. Heck, from the numbers on the add pack, it doesn't miss Amsoil by much.
It's good oil, and will not damage any engine spec'd properly.


You just said in your post that I quoted that "it doesn't miss Amsoil by much" Right there in your own writing in your own post your pretty much saying that is almost as good as Amsoil. That's a pretty big comparison for such a cheap oil.

Agreed. The number one issue any dealer is concerned about at trade in time is how the vehicle looks. And if you have clear title or how much money (if any) you owe on it. That's their priorities.

Ahh, you have succumbed to the "feelz" of major oil brand marketing. Kinda like buying name brand milk at the store instead of the store brand, the feelz is that much sweeter but it tastes the same.

I tell you what, I will buy your next oil change if you can find me an instance where ST oils have failed when both grade, spec's and OCI were adhered to. Of course this is rhetorical because it is not out there but if by weird circumstance you find it, I will honor the offer regardless.

I have it in my Equinox now and have had zero complaints.

I think Supertech Oil is practical and more cost effective in large 6+ qrt. sumps because no matter what - you need two 5 gal. jugs of oil to fill large sumps which can get expensive .

Seriously Hootbro can you just let it die man. Geez. This thread has been dead since the 22nd. Just let it go brother. If your using ST oil then good for you. End of story. Just let it go. Let it go.

He's right though...

Whatever makes him sleep better at night. To be honest it doesn't really matter what oil we use. If one wants to use pennzoil then cool. If one wants to use ST then cool. If one wants to use Amsoil then cool. Different strokes for different Gilles. Just let it die guys.
