Mr. Bates:

Dont try to out guess Sky Pup. He's got the technical whizz bang.....and can dazzle you with brilliance while you try to baffle him with b***s**t.

Read his bio sometime.

I just wonder if the "pup" in his signature is really representative of his demeanor? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I do an oil analysis every 2 changes, not because I am worried about oil breakdown, because oil, if it meets the API recommended baseline and is compatible with the OEM's recommendation, and you are changing on the recommended intervals, your are fine.

To me, oil is like mouthwash, different colors, different packaging but all does essentially the same thing, sweetens your breath....oil keeps your engine "sweet".

The only reason why I do spectroscopic analysis is to track what's going on inside the motor and to predict when and if I will need to make repairs (internally).

So WHO makes the Super Tech WalMart Oil, or did I miss it in
all the replies???

Probably made either in China or South Jersey just like 99% of everything at WallyWorld. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif However, it could be re-constituted drain oil for that matter.

Supertech is made by whomever says they meet the spec and has the lowest price.

It appears that Quaker State makes some of the super tech oil .It is not a POA based true synthetic. It is a highly refined oil which passes synthetic requirments. A group 3 oil.

Daryl's right, they probably ship old contaminated used oil over China to have it cleaned up and re-refined again. Then repackage it for the shelves at WallyWorld after its been halfway around the world and back again.

If someone has an old Yugo with bad rings and loud knocking connecting rods, it would be a most outstanding oil for it. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Mr. Pup, some people, given your sterling reputation here, might think you're serious.

A small "WPP" logo on the bottom of the dino Supertech is a dead giveaway for "Warren Performance Packaging"; a highly respected custom blender and packaging company. This could vary in different parts of the country, though.

I haven't checked the bottom of the synthetic Supertech bottles yet. Anybody see a "WPP" logo on the bottom of them?

The "recycled drain oil" comment isn't even worthy of a reply.

The dino oil is a good, all around oil at a rock bottom price. It has an "off the shelf" additive package that doesn't need millions of dollars worth of slick advertising to promote like "ZF-7" or "SUV Oil" or "High Mileage Oil".
Supertech meets API SM specs. This is a very high standard.

The only disadvantage in using Supertech oil is that some oil company execs or advertising company execs might get smaller quarterly bonuses. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I've been using Supertech dino 5W30 in my 2002 Toyota Tundra since it was new. I change it every 5,000 miles.

I'll let you all know when my engine self-destructs and leaves me straded on the side of the road. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
