Just tried it with conventional 10-30 and there were three: Citgo, Delfin Group USA LLC, and Warren Distribution.

Not sure about others.


That's me! Plant I work in is near Wheeling, WV, with others in Iowa, Texas, and Alabama. I've been there nearly 2 years, great company, I can see myself retiring from there... 20+ years to go!

if you are asking is the supertech synthetic is as good as Moible one synthetic, Amsoil, rotella T6, etc,.
The answer is no. There is a reason it cost less.

Go to the website bob is the oil guy. Many people will have a VOA performed on oils and post the results.
I can assure you that supertech synthetic won't stand up to the major brand synthetic specs

Post one up! Because the BITOG thread I posted above showed SuperTech Synthetic to be holding up very well, even with extended drain interval.

you would need to go to the site and search out the supertech VOA . then search out mobil one VAO
I tried it out several years ago, and with UAO at 4500 miles. The TBN was at 2.

I don't know if you read a a comment there, or read where someone posted UAO spec sheet

I'm willing to bet that supertech synthetic isn't going to have a 12 TBN though.

here's the spec sheet for Amsoil OE oil. not the SS oil

https://www.amsoil.com/lit/databulletins/g1404.pdf

Notice the Amsiol starts with a 10 TBN. While supertech starts with 7.7

Guess it all depends on what you mean by extended drains.
You base them on UAO, or ???

Is it good? Probably the answer is yes.
Is it as good as the big brand oils? Probably the answer is no.
Is it close enough for many? Probably the answer is yes.
Is it good enough for everyone? Definitely the answer is no.
I am in the last camp.

Now I would agree with that. Worth what you pay for it. I think so. As long as a person doesn't expect it to be equal to the major manufactures' top of the line oils.

The O.P. merely asked if Walmart's SuperTech oils were worth it, not how it compares with major brand oils. Some people just get carried away trying to make comparisons that weren't asked for. While it may be not as good, is the best really necessary in all cases?
