Are WalMart SuperTech oils worth it?

I am one of those guys that over changes the oil. My Diesel truck has 26K on it and has had 8 oil changes. I don't put many miles on a year but make sure I change the oil to get any condensation out as well as it makes me look over the vehicle and check it all out. Figure it is cheap insurance and helps me keep an eye on the machines so it is worth it to me.

Are WalMart SuperTech branded oils, synthetic & dino, worth it or not? Same question with their gear oil and tractor trans oil? Yes or no?

I've read a lot of favorable comments lately. Seems it might be the same product the big names sell but without the obligatory nosebleed markup?

Walmart would go out for bids for finished oil (include ad pack) from various suppliers. Lower cost one probably gets the bid. You never know where the oil comes from. Kinda like gasoline from outfits from Costco, etc.

Other companies, like Quaker State, go somewhere in between. They go out for bids for base oil and then use their own ad packs for finished product. For many years and likely still now, Quaker State got most of their base oil from Exxon.

Motor oil treads are a good place to apply logic to explain our emotionally based decisions.

I have used supertech at least 10 plus years, every vehicle i own gets it, every small engine i use gets it. no issues, car is currently at 150k, Not a single oil related issue yet, over 7-8 vehicles i have used it in. 5k oil changes. also use their oil filters.

^^^^^ I guess I am a fanatic. I even use Mobil 1. :applause: :applause:

I read in a WRX/STi forum that Mobil 1 was a No/No. (not sure if it's true or not) Most of them said it didn't hold up. I just use a quality synthetic and change it and the filter regularly.

There are so many forms of M1 now (just like Amsoil) aarrgghhhh!, you really need to be specific about which version of an oil "didn't hold up". It's just like saying "all" Fram filters suck. Far too many folks speak in generalities about things and say absolutes when it's simply not the case.
