Project Farm did a comparison on engine oils. Supertech worked about as good as all but the most expensive oils, which marginally surpassed it. That's good enough for me.
I’ve been using both Supertech oil and filters since the 1990’s when it was called Tech 2000 in a variety of engines with no issues. I also worked in a Wal Mart DC for decades and can tell you it’s a big seller.
@@patrickhenry2845 i only buy OEM filters but trust Supertech oil. I use it in my car and generators. $18 vs $35 for a 5qt.... Can do a full synthetic oil change + filter change for $25.
My dad commuted to his job in a Ford crown vic with a 5.0 engine. He drove that thing for a little over 300,000 miles on super tech oil and an orange can Fram. Never had an issue with it and still has that car which still runs good. Gotta be good oil.
Thank you for the comment! I had a few Ford vehicles and they always treated me right too. Of course, they got regular love which means fresh oil and filters, and reasonable driving 😅
So long as the API rating is up to par and you use the right viscosity, brand doesn't matter. I always look for the cheapest per-quart when I buy, with the current API rating and the right viscosity.
That's like saying all lawyers pass the bar so they all are the same.I,by no means am saying ST is bad oil but to say this stuff is the same as Schaffers or Amsoil because its certified is just a foolish ideolgy .If I recall right ,Schaffers isn't even certified and I would dare somebody to say it's garbage because it's not certified.
I would rather use the more expensive oils but im 81. Every thing I have will outlast me..I did fine before synthetics were available. I dont run in cold weather. In the 60s about the closest oil I used to synthetic was Castrol R in the Motorcycle. Couldnt start the motorcycle in bear country. A grizzle bear coulf smell the oil 30 miles away..
Great review. I've been using SuperTech oil and SuperTech oil filters for years. Never an issue. The regular Full Synthetic SuperTech is just as good as the major brand oil in my opinion.
I gave up allowing oil to get dirty then draining it in 1963. Multi grade oil was crap and cost about double the price of Standard Delo. Multi grade didnt hold up in a diesel. Delo came in 30W and 20 W. 29 cents a quart in the discount stores. You can still get Chevron Delo 100 10 W to 50 W. I might order some for the Ford diesel tractor. The engine sticker says you can use 10 40 but in hot summer use use 30. I put Walmart 15W 40 diesel conventional. Hard to find 30 W winter grade.The 30 weight that was in it didnt flow at 32 F. Not winter grade. My boss put over 350.000 miles on a 292 big 6 in a early 60s Chevy Suburban using Delo 100 20W. He had a dragster and was sponsored by Chevrolet. He got Valvolene racing oil and Baldwin filters free. He didnt drain the oil in the tow rig. We managed to get by without synthetic oil. We used toilet paper filters.
The most important items on any oil change is to use the proper viscosity, as recommended by the manufacturer, and to perform the oil change when needed. Brand doesn’t matter as much. It can be argued that Mobil 1 or Royal Purple may use a few extra ounces of detergent but all manufacturers tend to meet and exceed what is federally mandated.
Castrol doesn’t flow like Mobil1 when it’s super cold. If your south of Iowa I guess it doesn’t matter as much. If your in Minnesota and North Dakota forget it.
I use Costco's synthetic oil and I'd use supertech synthetic oil from Walmart without a doubt. I wouldn't use those premium superexpensive oils like Royal Purple or Liqui Moly, they cost up to four times compared with the synthetic oil I use and certainly they're not four times better.
@@jeremsgarageI also agree! Those premium oils such as Royal Purple, Amsoil, Motul, or Liqui-Moly for example, yeah they’d be good to use in a higher performance vehicle. But for an everyday driver like my Honda Civic, the Super Tech oil and filter are just fine…change it out every 5K-6K miles (I drive mostly hwy). Took the valve cover off last year to change out the gasket and adjust the valves…that valve train was silvery shiny with no sludge, deposits, or varnish.
Using Supertech in all of my cars now. No issues. As long as oil has all the specifications on the bottle and change oil regularly you are not going to have an oil related problem.
Correct. I try not to generate used oil. I dont drain oil but I generate a lot of contaminated depth filter elements better known as Scott 1000 or Great Value 1000 from Walmart.
Thats a big mistake people make. They think the more the oil cost the longer it will last. I drove the 84 Subaru 250.000 miles with no oil drains using Mobil 1 and a toilet paper filter. My guess is I could have done the same thing with Super Tech. Took about 20 years.
I can usually find QS 5qt jug on sale within a 10% variance from the store brands. But I will buy ST when I just need 1 qt. From the tests I've seen QS performed slightly better than ST. My vehicles idle a little quieter with QS and Pennzoil and I have seen dirt in the bottom of bottles of store brand oil so I don't go with them. Have had good luck with Motorcraft filters too. Although the Toyota cartridge filter is cheaper than the other brands.
After 15 years I picked up basic servicing my own vehicles again. 21 4Runner and 13 RDX. I just did my first oil change on the 4Runner with Super Tech Full Synthetic 0w20, and also on my sons’ accords’ and sis in laws Camry with the respective weights for there vehicles with Super Tech Brand. We use OEM filters only. Super tech meets all the specs per vehicle manufacture recommendations for my vehicles so why would it not be a great choiice at a great value. Awesome vid man! As far as oil change intervals, it gets changed out at 3K. Oil is cheap, engines aren’t! Awesome vid man!
My Dad Just bought a Brand New Toyota 4 Runner and he does his own oil changes and he is using full syn supertech....He believes that short oil change intervals are Key....
No matter how good the oil is, contaminants build up. Carbon is a major cause of wear. When you change the oil you are getting rid of the dirty oil. Cheap insurance on your vehicle.
I don't know how this video appeared on my feed but very great information, I have a 2014 Toyota Camry that I used to drive Uber and Lyft I have over $330,000 mi on my car and I always thought that I needed to put the high mileage oil from one of the top brand names to keep my car going. I'm definitely going to try the Walmart brand based on your experience with it. I appreciate the video bro!
I would probably stick to whatever you've been using if you have that kind of mileage on your vehicle. If it ain't broke, why fix it. Remarkable mileage!
@@jeremsgarage I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, too. Also, I use a Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter and putting a longer one than what the car calls for for the same price as the shorter. Super Tech is an alright oil product and Project Farm tested it as an alright, but you're right that there isn't that much a difference in price and the Ultra Platinum came in 2nd in the 16 synthetic oil tournament behind the much much more expensive Amsoil. I used to use Super Tech and would feel comfortable with it in my engine, but not for as long of an oil change interval. I like how he changes his oil meticulously early and that is more portabt than brand name in my opinion, but Super Tech as of now is getting much higher in price, and would rather spend just a few extra on the PUP, because it lasts significantly longer, but still change it early.
Depends on your driving style. You can go longer on oil changes if you alot of extended highway driving no longer than 7k miles. If you do alot of in town driving or take short trips change your oil at 3k miles. City and highway driving 4k-5k miles oil change.
I gave up dirty oil and routine oil drains in 1963 with a toilet paper oil cleaner and Standard Delo 100 30 W. The sticker on my 79 Ford diesel tractor said you can use 10 30 or 10 40 year around but in hot summer use 30 weight.I was digging a pond last summer.put heavy duty Walmart off road diesel 30 weight in it. The first morning it got down to freezing it was too thick on the dipstick Walmart didnt have winter grade 30. I put Walmart diesel rated 15 w 40 conventional in it. I might order some Chevron Delo 100 30 W for it. It worked year around in Idaho because it is winter grade. In the 60s I figured if it was good enough for a Grey Hound bus it was ok for the Rambler. Multi grades couldnt be used in a diesel in those days.Standard Delo 100 came in 30W and 20W in 1963 29cents a quart in the discount stores. I think it comes in 10W to 50W now Delo was beautiful with a toilet paper filter.
I’ve used super tech synthetic for over 20 years. 01 Honda Accord 326,000 on it. Ran great when I sold it. 08 Honda Accord 320,900 on it when sold it. Still ran perfect. My 07 Tacoma 4 cyl 220,000 on it. Still own it runs perfect. All super tech oil. I’m sold on it. Fram and super tech filters. Just change it at 5k on all vehicles
Walmart Conventional used to be $17/5L jug and the synthetic was 19.79. Its gone up by about 5 bucks or so but still a decent price if Mobil1 or something isnt on sale for around $33. I just used the last (cheap)bottle of Castrol Edge synthetic I had over the weekend. I had bought them on sale for $23.
You don't have to be a certified lubrication specialist to know that you get what you pay for. I'm old enough to know that that saying is very true, you get what you pay for. There's a reason why Mobil1 and Pennzoil and Royal Purple is more money. Yes, marketing costs have to do with it but that doesn't mean the quality or amount of additive packages don't have anything to do with it. I would never use Supertech oils unless it was the only oil left on the planet and I needed to run my cars. But as he says, you do what you feel is right or necessary. He also keeps saying "a million miles." I wonder if he knows what a million miles really is. Among 3 vehicles you'd have to run each to 333,333 miles to get to a million. Or you can have 10 vehicles each with 100k miles and there's your million miles. The proof is in the pudding, none of us can tell how good or bad a specific oil is operating unless we send oil samples for analysis on a regular basis, and also break the engine down after say 200k miles and compare that to the same engine with the same miles using another oil. I always recommend just about ANY brand of oil, even Idemitsu and Eneos. I always tell people, if you value your car and engine, avoid the bargain basement stuff. For a few more dollars you can sleep easy knowing you have a known and trusted brand of motor oil like Mobil1 or Pennzoil in your engine.
Thanks for watching and sharing your advise and opinions. The only proof I can offer is my experience over the last 20 ish years and the lack of blown engines and major engine repairs.
Been using ST and Kirkland oil since I saw the Project Farm video. Wasting money on Mobil 1 and Royal Purple makes no sense. Filter however, I buy it from the stealership for $5 a pop.
Solid oil. Warren INC is a vast corporation and delivers a good product. The full synthetic is a group 3. I've been preaching my brains out for years about the Kendall Gt-1 10w30. I am very impressed with what I've read about the new Valvoline 150k-plus. It was released last year. It did magnificently in engine protection testing. I was also blown away by the Penzoil Platinum that out-performed Mobil One...And Penzoil has half the additives but showed better protection.
SuperTech, blended by Warren Distribution (same as AmazonBasics, Kirkland, etc.), probably gets "standard" dexos1 additives from Lubrizol, and then Warren buys somebody's GroupIII synthetic and blends away. You could do it yourself, if Lubrizol or Oronite or Afton would sell you their dexos1 chemical soup (I.e., Lubrizol PV1500 liquid), and you followed their recipe with base GroupIII oil viscosity types, and I think you would still need to put in a VII chemical in that recipe. That's what Warren does. Commodity chemical technology, good to go.,
Dude, they all have the API star burst stamp, that means if it says Full Synthetic (group lll) then that is what is in the bottle. Nobody is Mix and Matching! You tell Warren, Mobil or any other distributer "I WANT A 5W30 SAE/API SN oil that is what you get! You want a 5w30 API/SN Blend that is what you get and it says so on the bottle!
@@jeremsgarage for my part, I stick to oil brands that have been in motorsport competition for decades like Valvoline, Duckhams, Petronas, Shell, TOTAL, MOTUL, Castrol. I use all of these brands and never had any problem with them especially their mineral multigrade heavy duty oils.
Just an observation I used this as well. Never had a problem, however in commericial use - i do an average of 10,000 miles a month with loads up to 3000 lbs, with small engines like 5.2 and 4.6....the oil loss (consumption, no leaks or blowby) is higher than any mobil 1 or Pennzoil ultra platinum I've used Caveat - I ran CNG in the past, now propane as a fuel. Higher combustion temps for propane Driving around town? Use it. Keep an eye on the oil level. To sum it up, no wear problems but this oil seems to eat itself I'd like someone to post if they noticed the same thing When ultra platinum went on half price sale I filled up a Sprinter with it, ya i save 50% over time but it was a little ridiculous buying $1000 worth of oil 🤣
Never understood buying the 5qt jug to save $$$$ and then buy a single quart if your vehicle takes 6. Kinda negates the savings from the jug purchase. Makes more sense to buy 2 jugs and keep them rotated. Just like using SuperTech oil won't blow up your engine, storing a 5qt jug that's been opened won't blow up your engine the next time you pour from it. Sounds like you change oil often enough that it's really nothing to worry about. Go for the ultimate overall savings.
From my understanding, Amazon Basics oil is the same oil in a different bottle. Look on the back they're both Warren oils. Also, don't be afraid to use the supertech filters they're pretty good for the cost.
Change you oil between 3000 to 5000 miles, especially if you have a newer vehicle. If it has a turbo or direct injection, 3000 miles is when I would change. These newer motors are all about efficiency, and they do very stupid things engineering wise to get you there. Clean oil is essential to keep the motor in tip top shape, especially with a low displacement modern Turbo Motors. And do not forget the transmission folks... Again, many of these newer vehicles need a transmission service every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Some of the CVT transmissions, NISSAN, every 20,000 to 30.000 miles, as they are junk.
I considered wal-mart oil , back in 2014 . From there , i read the reviews . A decade later i use it in all my vehicles & have never looked back . Its a great product , at a great price
@@jeremsgarage the oil in question is just oil but regular maintenance is key and you'd be surprised how your engine could outlast yourself if you take good care of it. Motor oil is cheap but a destroyed engine is costly and time consuming to repair. I don't doubt that synthetic (semi and full) are great oils for cars and trucks but for small power equipments with no oil filter and no oil pump (pressure washers, generator, water pump,lawn mowers, gasoline tiller and even 4 stroke chainsaws) which uses old school splash lubrication system, synthetic engine oils are pretty much useless because you gotta follow the manual recommendations (50 hours oil change), fully synthetic or not, you cannot go beyond that 50 hours point
I love this argument, been messing around and building engines as a hobby since late 80s and i have used countless brand engine oils over these years (same goes for oil filters) and i have yet to have one failure due oil (or a filter). Also, i have pulled apart several engines and looked at the bearings & cylinder bores guess what no damage from cheap oil. If you change your oil frequently and use right viscosity as far as oils go it’ll be fine! With that said i use Mobil1 syn now because its @ $25 at walmart but as others stated this supertech seems to score high in tests out there.
Thank you for your comment! I agree! It does make it a little harder to justify only $4-5 difference between SuperTech and Mobile 1. I appreciate you watching!
I just bought a 23 Chevy Traverse. I stopped by a mechanic friend that only does engine & transmission work. He prefers to work on classic cars. He has more business than he knows what to do with. I asked him about oil. With the most honest look on his face he said. “ I just use the cheapest O’Rielly Brand. I call them up and they bring it to me.” I have never had an engine failure do to oil. So buy the cheapest oil with the correct weight recommended in your manual. Change it at 3,000 or 3,500 miles and you will be worry free. Everything else is advertising & marketing. You simply do not need expensive oils.
285k miles on my Engine using nothing but Mobil 1 synthetic, engine idles and runs like new.. I am sure other oils are also good, but Mobil 1 has always been good to me.
How many miles does your car get to the 50% mark? then you do your OC?? For me, I change 2 cars. Both Toyota, 4 cylinders, & 5w-30. Rav4 97 3s-fe & Highlander 01 2az-fe The Rav4 uses the Castrol OG green bottle high milage. & uses both Purolator 1 & Bosch Premium. That's the "family ghetto rav4" so it's our grocery, home depot, utility car. Because of that, the oil gets changed once a year. Barely gets 3,000 within the year. The Highlander though gets experiment on different brands. The green bottle, ultra clean, black full synthetic, pennzoil full synthetic & valvoline max life. All oils get burned but reason why I bought them was because they WERE within 22-24$ But NOW the valvoline is 29-35$ at Walmart, Castrol is 22-27$, & Pennzoil is 25$ super tech used to be 17$ & its now 22$ & each of the 1 quart bottles are at least 8$
@@jeremsgarage yeah it's went up over the last couple years, you can buy name brand oil for two dollars more now. Supertech useted to be 10 bucks cheaper.
My brother is a purchasing agent for Walmart in Bentonville Arkansas. Walmart puts its motor oils up for bid every 6 months. Major oil companies bid to bottle Super Tech oil for them. At any given time the oil in the bottle may be Castrol, Mobile,Pennzoil, Valvoline, Exxon, ect. Walmart is not in the oil business and always uses the major brands.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You are right about this. I’m not sure it’s mix for mix the same as name brand but I know they come from major oil producers. Warren I think, is the latest producer of SuperTech.
@@tomasnokechtesledger1786 Warren is vendor in one market segment of Wal-Mart...there are 2 others supplying in other areas. Saw a YT video - guy said there is a small marking on containers to determine vendor. BTW - thanks for posting the info👍
Mobil 1 for my everyday vehicles and Pensoil uktra platinum for the 21 Tundra tow vehicle and Mobil 1 filters and oil change 3000-5000 Miles. Car care nut Toyota Master Mechanic states change oil at 5000 mile mark … I run my Toyota Vehicles between 225000 to 275000 miles before I swap out Super tech for a GM or Ford product might be just fine as they do not have the longevity and what oil you use is the least of your worries
Always look for the API seal on the container, buy the correct weight and rating (i.e., 5W30 SM, SP, etc.) and go for it. I always use store brands, O'Reilly, Advance, Wal-Mart, etc. Ask yourself this? Do you think a major retailer could afford to face millions or maybe billions in a class action lawsuit if their branded oils were to damage and destroy engines. No way. When I go to O'Reillys, their oil filters are exactly the same as WIX filters with identical parts numbers at a good savings.
The same can be said of gasoline. My sister's Mini had multiple reliability problems that the mechanic blamed on "Costco gas." That's NONSENSE, for exactly the reason you cite. Costco's reputation is too valuable to risk selling "poor gasoline." Marketing is about PERCEPTIONS, NOT PRODUCTS.....
Your absolutely correct. I am borrowing a statement from my mechanic when I asked him about SuperTech Oil about 10 years ago. “He said Walmart is not in the business of destroying engines with cheap oil. So don’t be afraid to use it. “
@@ceejay9663plus if you look at the Costco gas pumps, they have a sticker on it that says “Top Tier Fuel”. Shell, Chevron, Marathon for example, also use Top Tier Fuels.
It is a good oil for 3,000 to 4,000 miles maybe 5k. It is not real synthetic just highly refined mineral. All these "FULL SYNTHETIC" oils are similarly highly refined mineral oils. They are good for a bit longer than regular mineral oil. 10,000 miles is absurd. It is just marketing to the impoverished and uneducated masses that live in America. They see 10k miles printed on the bottle and assume the oil is good for 10k becauses it says so on the bottle. Walmart serves a lot of poor and stupid people. Other than that if you change this oil frequently you can get phenomenal mileage out of your engine, ...just like the man says: cheap clean oil is far better than dirty expensive oil. Actually it is preferred to change more frequently with a cheaper oil than go long with a moderately better oil. Frequent changes flush out microscopic metal particles that accumulate in the engine from one oil change to the other as not all oil is exchanged. Over time this accumulation grows. Tiny metal particles, much smaller than what the filter can catch are responsible for most of the engine wear as they chip into smooth metal surface and erode it, ...which produces more and more of these particles. It is a preferred strategy to change very frequently using cheaper but still specked oil.

I'll change it when it hits 5,000 miles, regardless of what the protection says. I believe that's key, don't do these crazy extended intervals. That's when it will start getting caked inside.

I used exclusively either Kirkland or Supertech full synthetic in my Honda CRV, I had it for nearly 300,000 miles until I had a crash and got rid of it, never had any issues
Super tech depending where you buy it from....is made by Mobil and Pennzoil. Yes warren oil does make it. They just don't distribute it all over the United States. If it has a white triangle on it it's warren good video bro
Hi . Been using Supertech 5W30 fully sythetic oit in my 2010 Kia Sportage with 2.7 Liter engine . It presently has 636,000 klms on it and still running great . I change oil and filter every 10,000 klms and never have to add between changes . Great product !
I always use Motocraft filters on my Fords. I’ve never had an issue with a SuperTech filter but the price is so close I just use the brand name filter.
I gave up on trying to figure out what the "best" oil is. It's all really good now, and all will make it so the engine lasts longer than I'll keep the vehicle. I run whatever oil meets spec, from a recognized company, and is cheapest when I buy it. Clean cheap oil is better than dirty expensive oil is 100% right, change it often and keep it clean. A local store used to sell 5 quart jugs of Chevron/Havoline 5w30 conventional, and then run a rebate, that put that oil at just over $1/quart. I stocked up, and will again if that deal ever comes around again. Pricing on this oil has changed, and now I run Mobil1 full synthetic for $2 per oil change more.
One dude was putting out a video trying to say Super Tech was trash by showing his lab test. But right at the top of the test in the remarks was that it was showing clear signs of fuel dilution. He tried saying all modern cars had that issue. Wrong. It was just certain Hondas in a certain model year. (2018). Just patently dishonest. If you're using the recommended viscosity, and it meets the latest ILSAC and API specifications, it will be suitable for your car.
I change mine on all four vehicles no later than 4000 miles, i do not care what it says on the bottles. also use walmart filters or fram what ever i can get cheaper.
I just bought a bottle of Supertech for my snow blower. I noticed it isn't that much cheaper then others now. Going to go to something else as the value really isn't there anymore
Hey man nice Vid if you have a Costco membership Costco sales Kirkland oil which is there brand think it is same oil as super tech 10 quarts for 2o bucks I think I paid
With today's inflated prices (8-2022), SuperTech is only about $3 cheaper than any major brand: Mobil 1, Valvoline, etc. No longer any advantage to go with no name brands.
Good video. I just purchased super tech oil for the first time to give it a try. I have a 2012 Honda Civic and a 2018 Honda CR-V that I’m going to use this on.
I've used Supertech for years, it's great oil. Made by Warren I believe. But you won't find a 5 qt jug of it for $21.00 anymore. In some cases it's a little higher than the name brands
That's only 4 companies in a World making oil additives. That's exact synthetic oil as all those brand names . And it cost less then $2 for gallon to make it
About 6 weeks or so. As of today, 7/5/22 I’m already at 65%. I’ll be changing the oil again soon. Towing 1300 miles really pulls the oil life % down. At least it seemed to to me. Thanks for watching!
I watched other videos when they cut open oil filter and saw some filters made off paper and stapled together inside like Fram and AC delco.I stopped buying by the case on ebay super tech filter are well made and cheep at wal mart thanks.
Good point! The SuperTech filters are good filters. I do use the ACdelco filters as SuperTech and other house brands don’t make filters for the 2.7l just yet. I’ve not seen the AC/Delco filters be made of glued cardboard. I’ve only seen them with metal cores. But I may dissect the filter I pull off of this oil change.
farm project did extensive testing in this oil & various others & it passed with flying colors this company makes the amazon basics oil & the costco brand good oil @ a great price the only good oil is clean oil save a few bucks here & there it adds up
Just used it for the first time in my 2012 elantra 10w20 full synthetic. Seems to be doing okay. Used it in my 2012 equinox as well, seems to do even better 10w30 dexos 2
I worked at Citgo petroleum/Cato oil in oklahoma city I've seen supertech,oriellys,harley,briggs&Stratton and Castrol all on the same line the same goes for grease.
I just run its cousin the Costco brand for regular use. I change back to AMSOIL for my off-road adventures, no problems 👍 How can this mechanic and regular user be wrong with his reasoning why. I had used Kirkland synthetic for 3 years no problems even after I scrutinize my oil, send it off and check the literature and compare to when I was using AMSOIL. After they fired all the oil workers and now we're buying foreign oils, products have sky rocketed? I don't think Biden knows that high fuel prices causes prices in Rural US towns prices soar? Cheers👍

$3.91/qt for Kirkland oil at Costco. I used to use ST but Walmart has raised the price quite a bit recently
They are the same oil. Warren makes it for Supertek and Kirkland.
Is Kirkland synthetic or just conventional
@@rstuff1605 Kirkland from Costco is full synthetic
I’ve noticed a big price increase in the SuperTech oil as well. I’m reviewing my options now too. Thanks for commenting and watching.
Yes they have raised the price. I just bought Valvoline cheaper than Super Tech.
So long as the API rating is up to par and you use the right viscosity, brand doesn't matter. I always look for the cheapest per-quart when I buy, with the current API rating and the right viscosity.
I agree totally. Thanks for watching and for commenting!
That's like saying all lawyers pass the bar so they all are the same.I,by no means am saying ST is bad oil but to say this stuff is the same as Schaffers or Amsoil because its certified is just a foolish ideolgy .If I recall right ,Schaffers isn't even certified and I would dare somebody to say it's garbage because it's not certified.
I would rather use the more expensive oils but im 81. Every thing I have will outlast me..I did fine before synthetics were available. I dont run in cold weather. In the 60s about the closest oil I used to synthetic was Castrol R in the Motorcycle. Couldnt start the motorcycle in bear country. A grizzle bear coulf smell the oil 30 miles away..
Great review. I've been using SuperTech oil and SuperTech oil filters for years. Never an issue. The regular Full Synthetic SuperTech is just as good as the major brand oil in my opinion.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
Same here. The 20k mile supertech oil filter is great. I believe it's the same construction as the mobil1 and k&n filter.
I think following maintainance interval diligently what matters most. My experience supertech did great both my car and motorcycles
I gave up allowing oil to get dirty then draining it in 1963. Multi grade oil was crap and cost about double the price of Standard Delo. Multi grade didnt hold up in a diesel. Delo came in 30W and 20 W. 29 cents a quart in the discount stores. You can still get Chevron Delo 100 10 W to 50 W. I might order some for the Ford diesel tractor. The engine sticker says you can use 10 40 but in hot summer use use 30. I put Walmart 15W 40 diesel conventional. Hard to find 30 W winter grade.The 30 weight that was in it didnt flow at 32 F. Not winter grade. My boss put over 350.000 miles on a 292 big 6 in a early 60s Chevy Suburban using Delo 100 20W. He had a dragster and was sponsored by Chevrolet. He got Valvolene racing oil and Baldwin filters free. He didnt drain the oil in the tow rig. We managed to get by without synthetic oil. We used toilet paper filters.
The most important items on any oil change is to use the proper viscosity, as recommended by the manufacturer, and to perform the oil change when needed. Brand doesn’t matter as much. It can be argued that Mobil 1 or Royal Purple may use a few extra ounces of detergent but all manufacturers tend to meet and exceed what is federally mandated.
I agree! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’ve used SuperTech products for years. I have great results and never a problem.
Glad to know I’m not alone. This is good stuff. Thanks for Commenting and Watching!
Supertech went high on prices ... not buying it anymore ... it is like buying castrol or mobil one ...
Yeah, a few dollars difference is worth to buy better oil. Back when I was saving around $10 per oil change, I used supertech.
Castrol doesn’t flow like Mobil1 when it’s super cold. If your south of Iowa I guess it doesn’t matter as much. If your in Minnesota and North Dakota forget it.
$19.95 for ST 5W30 AT WM right now, $25.00 for Castrol.
I use Costco's synthetic oil and I'd use supertech synthetic oil from Walmart without a doubt.
I wouldn't use those premium superexpensive oils like Royal Purple or Liqui Moly, they cost up to four times compared with the synthetic oil I use and certainly they're not four times better.
Thanks for watching! I agree. Oil that meets the spec is good enough for most applications
@@jeremsgarageI also agree! Those premium oils such as Royal Purple, Amsoil, Motul, or Liqui-Moly for example, yeah they’d be good to use in a higher performance vehicle. But for an everyday driver like my Honda Civic, the Super Tech oil and filter are just fine…change it out every 5K-6K miles (I drive mostly hwy). Took the valve cover off last year to change out the gasket and adjust the valves…that valve train was silvery shiny with no sludge, deposits, or varnish.
Using Supertech in all of my cars now. No issues. As long as oil has all the specifications on the bottle and change oil regularly you are not going to have an oil related problem.
I agree! Cheap cheap oil is better than dirty expensive oil. imho.
Correct. I try not to generate used oil. I dont drain oil but I generate a lot of contaminated depth filter elements better known as Scott 1000 or Great Value 1000 from Walmart.
Thats a big mistake people make. They think the more the oil cost the longer it will last. I drove the 84 Subaru 250.000 miles with no oil drains using Mobil 1 and a toilet paper filter. My guess is I could have done the same thing with Super Tech. Took about 20 years.
Their price has been creeping up a lot. Kirkland version of the oil is still under 18 per 5 qts at Costco.
I can usually find QS 5qt jug on sale within a 10% variance from the store brands. But I will buy ST when I just need 1 qt. From the tests I've seen QS performed slightly better than ST. My vehicles idle a little quieter with QS and Pennzoil and I have seen dirt in the bottom of bottles of store brand oil so I don't go with them. Have had good luck with Motorcraft filters too. Although the Toyota cartridge filter is cheaper than the other brands.
Castrol GTX Full Synthetic for me.
I watch all the various oil tests I believe today there is no bad oil like you say as long as it meets the spec.
After 15 years I picked up basic servicing my own vehicles again. 21 4Runner and 13 RDX. I just did my first oil change on the 4Runner with Super Tech Full Synthetic 0w20, and also on my sons’ accords’ and sis in laws Camry with the respective weights for there vehicles with Super Tech Brand. We use OEM filters only. Super tech meets all the specs per vehicle manufacture recommendations for my vehicles so why would it not be a great choiice at a great value. Awesome vid man! As far as oil change intervals, it gets changed out at 3K. Oil is cheap, engines aren’t! Awesome vid man!
I must say I use it ,,project farms test it and it dose very well so I tried it and I am impressed!!
My Dad Just bought a Brand New Toyota 4 Runner and he does his own oil changes and he is using full syn supertech....He believes that short oil change intervals are Key....
No matter how good the oil is, contaminants build up. Carbon is a major cause of wear. When you change the oil you are getting rid of the dirty oil. Cheap insurance on your vehicle.
@@allanbrogdon3078 Cheap clean oil is always better than dirty (Expensive Oil)
I don't know how this video appeared on my feed but very great information, I have a 2014 Toyota Camry that I used to drive Uber and Lyft I have over $330,000 mi on my car and I always thought that I needed to put the high mileage oil from one of the top brand names to keep my car going. I'm definitely going to try the Walmart brand based on your experience with it. I appreciate the video bro!
I would probably stick to whatever you've been using if you have that kind of mileage on your vehicle. If it ain't broke, why fix it. Remarkable mileage!
7/5/22 Long Island NY $3.50 difference between super tech and pennzoil ultra platinum on 5 quart jug.
Pretty close in price. I’ve used Pennzoil before in some of my vehicles. Pretty good stuff.
@@jeremsgarage I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, too. Also, I use a Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter and putting a longer one than what the car calls for for the same price as the shorter. Super Tech is an alright oil product and Project Farm tested it as an alright, but you're right that there isn't that much a difference in price and the Ultra Platinum came in 2nd in the 16 synthetic oil tournament behind the much much more expensive Amsoil. I used to use Super Tech and would feel comfortable with it in my engine, but not for as long of an oil change interval. I like how he changes his oil meticulously early and that is more portabt than brand name in my opinion, but Super Tech as of now is getting much higher in price, and would rather spend just a few extra on the PUP, because it lasts significantly longer, but still change it early.
If you are changing your oil at half life it doesn't matter what brand you use, if you run it longer it will make a difference.
Depends on your driving style. You can go longer on oil changes if you alot of extended highway driving no longer than 7k miles. If you do alot of in town driving or take short trips change your oil at 3k miles. City and highway driving 4k-5k miles oil change.
I gave up dirty oil and routine oil drains in 1963 with a toilet paper oil cleaner and Standard Delo 100 30 W. The sticker on my 79 Ford diesel tractor said you can use 10 30 or 10 40 year around but in hot summer use 30 weight.I was digging a pond last summer.put heavy duty Walmart off road diesel 30 weight in it. The first morning it got down to freezing it was too thick on the dipstick Walmart didnt have winter grade 30. I put Walmart diesel rated 15 w 40 conventional in it. I might order some Chevron Delo 100 30 W for it. It worked year around in Idaho because it is winter grade. In the 60s I figured if it was good enough for a Grey Hound bus it was ok for the Rambler. Multi grades couldnt be used in a diesel in those days.Standard Delo 100 came in 30W and 20W in 1963 29cents a quart in the discount stores. I think it comes in 10W to 50W now Delo was beautiful with a toilet paper filter.
inflation killed supertech, you can get quakerstate for the same price.
You are absolutely right!
I’ve used super tech synthetic for over 20 years. 01 Honda Accord 326,000 on it. Ran great when I sold it. 08 Honda Accord 320,900 on it when sold it. Still ran perfect. My 07 Tacoma 4 cyl 220,000 on it. Still own it runs perfect. All super tech oil. I’m sold on it. Fram and super tech filters. Just change it at 5k on all vehicles
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Walmart Conventional used to be $17/5L jug and the synthetic was 19.79. Its gone up by about 5 bucks or so but still a decent price if Mobil1 or something isnt on sale for around $33. I just used the last (cheap)bottle of Castrol Edge synthetic I had over the weekend. I had bought them on sale for $23.
Thanks for watching!
You don't have to be a certified lubrication specialist to know that you get what you pay for. I'm old enough to know that that saying is very true, you get what you pay for. There's a reason why Mobil1 and Pennzoil and Royal Purple is more money. Yes, marketing costs have to do with it but that doesn't mean the quality or amount of additive packages don't have anything to do with it. I would never use Supertech oils unless it was the only oil left on the planet and I needed to run my cars. But as he says, you do what you feel is right or necessary. He also keeps saying "a million miles." I wonder if he knows what a million miles really is. Among 3 vehicles you'd have to run each to 333,333 miles to get to a million. Or you can have 10 vehicles each with 100k miles and there's your million miles. The proof is in the pudding, none of us can tell how good or bad a specific oil is operating unless we send oil samples for analysis on a regular basis, and also break the engine down after say 200k miles and compare that to the same engine with the same miles using another oil. I always recommend just about ANY brand of oil, even Idemitsu and Eneos. I always tell people, if you value your car and engine, avoid the bargain basement stuff. For a few more dollars you can sleep easy knowing you have a known and trusted brand of motor oil like Mobil1 or Pennzoil in your engine.
Thanks for watching and sharing your advise and opinions. The only proof I can offer is my experience over the last 20 ish years and the lack of blown engines and major engine repairs.
Had amazing results as well
Been using ST and Kirkland oil since I saw the Project Farm video. Wasting money on Mobil 1 and Royal Purple makes no sense.
Filter however, I buy it from the stealership for $5 a pop.
Good stuff!! Really, almost any modern oils are up to the task. But I agree, OEM filters are best and cheap. (Usually)…thanks for watching!
Solid oil. Warren INC is a vast corporation and delivers a good product. The full synthetic is a group 3. I've been preaching my brains out for years about the Kendall Gt-1 10w30. I am very impressed with what I've read about the new Valvoline 150k-plus. It was released last year. It did magnificently in engine protection testing. I was also blown away by the Penzoil Platinum that out-performed Mobil One...And Penzoil has half the additives but showed better protection.
SuperTech, blended by Warren Distribution (same as AmazonBasics, Kirkland, etc.), probably gets "standard" dexos1 additives from Lubrizol, and then Warren buys somebody's GroupIII synthetic and blends away. You could do it yourself, if Lubrizol or Oronite or Afton would sell you their dexos1 chemical soup (I.e., Lubrizol PV1500 liquid), and you followed their recipe with base GroupIII oil viscosity types, and I think you would still need to put in a VII chemical in that recipe. That's what Warren does. Commodity chemical technology, good to go.,
Dude, they all have the API star burst stamp, that means if it says Full Synthetic (group lll) then that is what is in the bottle. Nobody is Mix and Matching! You tell Warren, Mobil or any other distributer "I WANT A 5W30 SAE/API SN oil that is what you get! You want a 5w30 API/SN Blend that is what you get and it says so on the bottle!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
thanks, those are great information, I learn something new.
@@jeremsgarage for my part, I stick to oil brands that have been in motorsport competition for decades like Valvoline, Duckhams, Petronas, Shell, TOTAL, MOTUL, Castrol. I use all of these brands and never had any problem with them especially their mineral multigrade heavy duty oils.
@@danteerskine7678 it's all the same oil dude
Just an observation
I used this as well. Never had a problem, however in commericial use - i do an average of 10,000 miles a month with loads up to 3000 lbs, with small engines like 5.2 and 4.6....the oil loss (consumption, no leaks or blowby) is higher than any mobil 1 or Pennzoil ultra platinum I've used
Caveat - I ran CNG in the past, now propane as a fuel. Higher combustion temps for propane
Driving around town? Use it. Keep an eye on the oil level.
To sum it up, no wear problems but this oil seems to eat itself
I'd like someone to post if they noticed the same thing
When ultra platinum went on half price sale I filled up a Sprinter with it, ya i save 50% over time but it was a little ridiculous buying $1000 worth of oil 🤣
Never understood buying the 5qt jug to save $$$$ and then buy a single quart if your vehicle takes 6. Kinda negates the savings from the jug purchase. Makes more sense to buy 2 jugs and keep them rotated. Just like using SuperTech oil won't blow up your engine, storing a 5qt jug that's been opened won't blow up your engine the next time you pour from it. Sounds like you change oil often enough that it's really nothing to worry about. Go for the ultimate overall savings.
I buy two 5qt jugs at a time from super tech. The following 4 oil changes i buy single jugs and use the opened jug to top off.
From my understanding, Amazon Basics oil is the same oil in a different bottle. Look on the back they're both Warren oils. Also, don't be afraid to use the supertech filters they're pretty good for the cost.
Change you oil between 3000 to 5000 miles, especially if you have a newer vehicle. If it has a turbo or direct injection, 3000 miles is when I would change. These newer motors are all about efficiency, and they do very stupid things engineering wise to get you there. Clean oil is essential to keep the motor in tip top shape, especially with a low displacement modern Turbo Motors. And do not forget the transmission folks... Again, many of these newer vehicles need a transmission service every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Some of the CVT transmissions, NISSAN, every 20,000 to 30.000 miles, as they are junk.
I considered wal-mart oil , back in 2014 . From there , i read the reviews . A decade later i use it in all my vehicles & have never looked back . Its a great product , at a great price
Yes! Me too! I put it in my lawn mower yesterday.
I use Supertech High Mileage full Synthetic oil and filter in my 2005 Civic Si K20.
That is good stuff too!
@@jeremsgarage the oil in question is just oil but regular maintenance is key and you'd be surprised how your engine could outlast yourself if you take good care of it. Motor oil is cheap but a destroyed engine is costly and time consuming to repair.
I don't doubt that synthetic (semi and full) are great oils for cars and trucks but for small power equipments with no oil filter and no oil pump (pressure washers, generator, water pump,lawn mowers, gasoline tiller and even 4 stroke chainsaws) which uses old school splash lubrication system, synthetic engine oils are pretty much useless because you gotta follow the manual recommendations (50 hours oil change), fully synthetic or not, you cannot go beyond that 50 hours point
@@danteerskine7678 , synthetic oil has superior lubricity, so it should make your engine last longer, at least in theory.
I love this argument, been messing around and building engines as a hobby since late 80s and i have used countless brand engine oils over these years (same goes for oil filters) and i have yet to have one failure due oil (or a filter). Also, i have pulled apart several engines and looked at the bearings & cylinder bores guess what no damage from cheap oil. If you change your oil frequently and use right viscosity as far as oils go it’ll be fine! With that said i use Mobil1 syn now because its @ $25 at walmart but as others stated this supertech seems to score high in tests out there.
Thank you for your comment! I agree! It does make it a little harder to justify only $4-5 difference between SuperTech and Mobile 1.
I appreciate you watching!
I just bought a 23 Chevy Traverse. I stopped by a mechanic friend that only does engine & transmission work. He prefers to work on classic cars. He has more business than he knows what to do with.
I asked him about oil. With the most honest look on his face he said. “ I just use the cheapest O’Rielly Brand. I call them up and they bring it to me.” I have never had an engine failure do to oil. So buy the cheapest oil with the correct weight recommended in your manual. Change it at 3,000 or 3,500 miles and you will be worry free. Everything else is advertising & marketing. You simply do not need expensive oils.
285k miles on my Engine using nothing but Mobil 1 synthetic, engine idles and runs like new.. I am sure other oils are also good, but Mobil 1 has always been good to me.
amen brother, oil is oil, frequency of the oil change is critical to long engine life.@@LayLow83
How many miles does your car get to the 50% mark? then you do your OC??
For me, I change 2 cars. Both Toyota, 4 cylinders, & 5w-30. Rav4 97 3s-fe & Highlander 01 2az-fe
The Rav4 uses the Castrol OG green bottle high milage. & uses both Purolator 1 & Bosch Premium. That's the "family ghetto rav4" so it's our grocery, home depot, utility car. Because of that, the oil gets changed once a year. Barely gets 3,000 within the year.
The Highlander though gets experiment on different brands. The green bottle, ultra clean, black full synthetic, pennzoil full synthetic & valvoline max life. All oils get burned but reason why I bought them was because they WERE within 22-24$
But NOW the valvoline is 29-35$ at Walmart, Castrol is 22-27$, & Pennzoil is 25$ super tech used to be 17$ & its now 22$ & each of the 1 quart bottles are at least 8$
Walmart pulled most super tech from the shelf’s, said they would keep the boxed 12 quarts and the advanced
Why did they pull it?
Why they did that?
That is true I seen it for myself at my local Walmarts they are clearing it out
The only Supertech oil left is the advanced at $26.00 for a 5 qt. jug. More than most name brand oils.
Kirkland almost half the price. Same oil & its GF6
Good to know! Thanks for the comment!
I've used ST oil, tranny fluid and brake fluid. All work just fine. Chevy Malibu.
Been running it for about 8 years in multiple vehicles, never any issues.
It is good stuff! It's just as expensive now as other oils at my local WalMart. Which is sad.
@@jeremsgarage yeah it's went up over the last couple years, you can buy name brand oil for two dollars more now. Supertech useted to be 10 bucks cheaper.
I've been using Full Synthetic Supertech in both my Turbo Honda Accord and all 4 of my Harley Street Glides and never had any issues.
My brother is a purchasing agent for Walmart in Bentonville Arkansas. Walmart puts its motor oils up for bid every 6 months. Major oil companies bid to bottle Super Tech oil for them. At any given time the oil in the bottle may be Castrol, Mobile,Pennzoil, Valvoline, Exxon, ect. Walmart is not in the oil business and always uses the major brands.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You are right about this. I’m not sure it’s mix for mix the same as name brand but I know they come from major oil producers. Warren I think, is the latest producer of SuperTech.
Warren for a decade now

Miles. Car care nut Toyota Master Mechanic states change oil at 5000 mile mark …
I run my Toyota Vehicles between 225000 to 275000 miles before I swap out
Super tech for a GM or Ford product might be just fine as they do not have the longevity and what oil you use is the least of your worries
meets the spec, good to go. totally agree, no idea why im watching.
I appreciate you watching and commenting. Thank you!
Always look for the API seal on the container, buy the correct weight and rating (i.e., 5W30 SM, SP, etc.) and go for it. I always use store brands, O'Reilly, Advance, Wal-Mart, etc. Ask yourself this? Do you think a major retailer could afford to face millions or maybe billions in a class action lawsuit if their branded oils were to damage and destroy engines. No way. When I go to O'Reillys, their oil filters are exactly the same as WIX filters with identical parts numbers at a good savings.
The same can be said of gasoline. My sister's Mini had multiple reliability problems that the mechanic blamed on "Costco gas." That's NONSENSE, for exactly the reason you cite. Costco's reputation is too valuable to risk selling "poor gasoline." Marketing is about PERCEPTIONS, NOT PRODUCTS.....
Your absolutely correct. I am borrowing a statement from my mechanic when I asked him about SuperTech Oil about 10 years ago. “He said Walmart is not in the business of destroying engines with cheap oil. So don’t be afraid to use it. “
@@ceejay9663plus if you look at the Costco gas pumps, they have a sticker on it that says “Top Tier Fuel”. Shell, Chevron, Marathon for example, also use Top Tier Fuels.
the ST used to be a bargain. Unfortunately now, it's not much cheaper than the Mobil 1 sold at WM.
Thanks for watching! Mobile 1 always turns brown on me. It’s strange.
Trust me, I’ve been a mechanic for 35 years do not use super tech starting to see motors fail as a result of 10,000 mile full synthetic super tech
Thanks for your comment! Just to clarify I do not advocate running any oil to 10k miles
It is a good oil for 3,000 to 4,000 miles maybe 5k. It is not real synthetic just highly refined mineral. All these "FULL SYNTHETIC" oils are similarly highly refined mineral oils. They are good for a bit longer than regular mineral oil. 10,000 miles is absurd. It is just marketing to the impoverished and uneducated masses that live in America. They see 10k miles printed on the bottle and assume the oil is good for 10k becauses it says so on the bottle. Walmart serves a lot of poor and stupid people. Other than that if you change this oil frequently you can get phenomenal mileage out of your engine, ...just like the man says: cheap clean oil is far better than dirty expensive oil. Actually it is preferred to change more frequently with a cheaper oil than go long with a moderately better oil. Frequent changes flush out microscopic metal particles that accumulate in the engine from one oil change to the other as not all oil is exchanged. Over time this accumulation grows. Tiny metal particles, much smaller than what the filter can catch are responsible for most of the engine wear as they chip into smooth metal surface and erode it, ...which produces more and more of these particles. It is a preferred strategy to change very frequently using cheaper but still specked oil.

I'll change it when it hits 5,000 miles, regardless of what the protection says. I believe that's key, don't do these crazy extended intervals. That's when it will start getting caked inside.

Hi . Been using Supertech 5W30 fully sythetic oit in my 2010 Kia Sportage with 2.7 Liter engine . It presently has 636,000 klms on it and still running great . I change oil and filter every 10,000 klms and never have to add between changes . Great product !
Thanks for your video! I have been thinking Abt using this oil in my 2002 Honda civic.
It will work great! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Who's ?? Four, bucks expensive for a Motorcraft oil filter😕😕😕it's a great bargain. Great oil filters
I always use Motocraft filters on my Fords. I’ve never had an issue with a SuperTech filter but the price is so close I just use the brand name filter.
I gave up on trying to figure out what the "best" oil is. It's all really good now, and all will make it so the engine lasts longer than I'll keep the vehicle.
I run whatever oil meets spec, from a recognized company, and is cheapest when I buy it. Clean cheap oil is better than dirty expensive oil is 100% right, change it often and keep it clean.
A local store used to sell 5 quart jugs of Chevron/Havoline 5w30 conventional, and then run a rebate, that put that oil at just over $1/quart. I stocked up, and will again if that deal ever comes around again. Pricing on this oil has changed, and now I run Mobil1 full synthetic for $2 per oil change more.
As long as it's got the ILSAC GF6A/API SP approval, it's good to go!
Can we use Supertech’s full synthetic (0W-40 or 5W-40) for euro vehicles (I have a 2012 ML350) instead of liquimoly or Mobil1?
Thank you for watching! Honestly, I do not know. I’ll have to check. Stay tuned for an answer in an upcoming FAQ section on a future vlog
One dude was putting out a video trying to say Super Tech was trash by showing his lab test. But right at the top of the test in the remarks was that it was showing clear signs of fuel dilution. He tried saying all modern cars had that issue. Wrong. It was just certain Hondas in a certain model year. (2018). Just patently dishonest. If you're using the recommended viscosity, and it meets the latest ILSAC and API specifications, it will be suitable for your car.
Totally agree! Thanks for the comment and for watching
Yes it’s great oil been using for the last 5 years
I love it! Best deal in good oil I’ve found!
Used Super Tech conventional oil & filters in '91 F-150 for 16 years, no problems.
I’m still rocking it to this day! Thanks for sharing.
I use Supertech oil & filter in my Subaru cars. Change oil & filter every 6,000+ miles.
It’s good stuff. The price has gone up some since this video but it’s still good!
Oil filter I use the wix or microgard I can get both of them from O’Reilly‘s auto part about 14.00 dollars for micro and the wix is 18.00 dollars
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll check them out. I need to do an oil change and don’t really have time to order more filters.
It's a good oil. I use it when I cannot find Pennzoil at Home Depot.
Kia / Hyundai: buy oem filters online. Dont cheap out. Change whatever dino oil every 4K.
Yep!
I change mine on all four vehicles no later than 4000 miles, i do not care what it says on the bottles. also use walmart filters or fram what ever i can get cheaper.
I just bought a bottle of Supertech for my snow blower. I noticed it isn't that much cheaper then others now. Going to go to something else as the value really isn't there anymore
Thanks for watching!
I went to get some oil this Friday,and most of it was sold out. Wth is going on?
Hey man nice Vid if you have a Costco membership Costco sales Kirkland oil which is there brand think it is same oil as super tech 10 quarts for 2o bucks I think I paid
Excellent deal! I let my Costco membership expire since it’s kind of far away from my home. We have a Sam’s club membership so I will check there too.
With today's inflated prices (8-2022), SuperTech is only about $3 cheaper than any major brand: Mobil 1, Valvoline, etc. No longer any advantage to go with no name brands.
That goes to show that Super tech is probably the same oil as the name brands you mentioned
Good video. I just purchased super tech oil for the first time to give it a try. I have a 2012 Honda Civic and a 2018 Honda CR-V that I’m going to use this on.
It will serve you well. Thanks!
Project farm approved.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent oil
Yes! Thanks for watching!
You are absolutely 100% correct buddy
I been used ST oil for ever they are pretty good oil and good prices
And Thanks for the great video
I have not been able to find Super Tech conventional oil in the past two years. Anyone know why Walmart has discontinued selling conventional oil?
I'll check out my WM and see about the conventional. I haven't looked in a while. Thanks for commenting!
supertech is a good budget oil...or it was. the price is getting out of sight now
I've used Supertech for years, it's great oil. Made by Warren I believe. But you won't find a 5 qt jug of it for $21.00 anymore. In some cases it's a little higher than the name brands
remember the good ole days when you got a 5ct jug of super tech synthetic for $17. LOL prices are waaay up now .
@@Uneducatedcapitalist you got that right bro
t's getting worse, it was about $27.00 the other day when I checked. Feb 2023.
@@jeremsgarage sad. I also remember the high mileage synthetic was the same price of $17. We're getting ripped off
I use the super tech in my 1994 silverado with 5.7 litre are better yet 350. But i not sure on the super tech oil filter????
Thanks for watching! I just use the A/C Delco filters on my GM'S. They are not that expensive.
Pennzoil ultra for my ram and mustang With the factory air and oil filter
Nice video
Thank you! I think Pennzoil is a fine choice. And I echo using the Factory filters.
That's only 4 companies in a World making oil additives. That's exact synthetic oil as all those brand names . And it cost less then $2 for gallon to make it
It’s still my main oil!
Same as you I have used this for 25 to 30 years with no problems.
Good stuff!
How many months does it take you to reach 50% oil life?
About 6 weeks or so. As of today, 7/5/22 I’m already at 65%. I’ll be changing the oil again soon. Towing 1300 miles really pulls the oil life % down. At least it seemed to to me. Thanks for watching!
12 months
I watched other videos when they cut open oil filter and saw some filters made off paper and stapled together inside like Fram and AC delco.I stopped buying by the case on ebay super tech filter are well made and cheep at wal mart thanks.
Good point! The SuperTech filters are good filters. I do use the ACdelco filters as SuperTech and other house brands don’t make filters for the 2.7l just yet. I’ve not seen the AC/Delco filters be made of glued cardboard. I’ve only seen them with metal cores. But I may dissect the filter I pull off of this oil change.
farm project did extensive testing in this oil & various others & it passed with flying colors this company makes the amazon basics oil & the costco brand good oil @ a great price the only good oil is clean oil save a few bucks here & there it adds up
His videos are great. They confirmed my antecdoal experience. Thanks for watching.
Full synthetic is not 100% synthetic it's a class 3 oil like Castro it's no small tho
Just used it for the first time in my 2012 elantra 10w20 full synthetic. Seems to be doing okay. Used it in my 2012 equinox as well, seems to do even better 10w30 dexos 2
I worked at Citgo petroleum/Cato oil in oklahoma city I've seen supertech,oriellys,harley,briggs&Stratton and Castrol all on the same line the same goes for grease.
Thanks for watching!
I've used it for 20 years in everything from ATV's to my cars/trucks. No issues.
It's really good stuff. And it's very affordable!
Blink if you need help
😆
I just run its cousin the Costco brand for regular use. I change back to AMSOIL for my off-road adventures, no problems 👍
How can this mechanic and regular user be wrong with his reasoning why. I had used Kirkland synthetic for 3 years no problems even after I scrutinize my oil, send it off and check the literature and compare to when I was using AMSOIL.
After they fired all the oil workers and now we're buying foreign oils, products have sky rocketed? I don't think Biden knows that high fuel prices causes prices in Rural US towns prices soar? Cheers👍
It’s been really tough watching prices skyrocket like they have. Really sad.
