Who Makes Supertech Oil For Walmart And Is It Any Good?

[@anonymike8280]

What refinery is going refine special, extra-bad dino oil just for Walmart? Who produces bad motor oil? It doesn't make a shred of sense. In my estimation, Supertech is exactly the same as the oil company brands. Mobil. Shell. Chevron. Phillips. Texaco. Citgo. Arco. Sinclair. BP. Exxon. You name it. No difference, and they probably trade their production around as needed to fill their orders anyway. The famous independent brands - Castrol, Kendall, Valvoline, Pennzoil, Quaker - all are owned by the majors now. The majority of motor oil sold now is synthetic, and that's a different product altogether.

After researching the Dexos testing standard I base my oil purchase on it. The Walmart and Amazon brands that meet that standard are good oils without the premium price tag. Back to the 90s I’d always liked Castrol oils but $35 for 5 qts of 0w-20 versus $22 is a big difference when you have 5 cars to maintain (3 daughters).

I have seen Super Tech tested on oil testing equipment. It tested VERY well and right up there with ALL oils..Use it without fear..No matter what oil you use today most oils are so close in quality as one other person said here what matters the most is how often you change your oil. Not who's oil you use..There are no good other including myself mechanics that thought these (long) oil changes intervals made any sense at all. The word on the mechanic street is to never go past 5,000 miles..Not if you plan on keeping your car..3,000 to 5,000 miles is the desired change interval..I am also a mechanic and have spent 40 years researching oil and testing the common sense theories..Don't worry and be happy..Change that oil regularly.

3000 to 5000 mile oil change intervals are a waste of money and oil. I've been using supertech synthetic oil since 1998 when no mechanic could be convinced to use it. It's been in use since WW2 and still I couldn't convince anyone of the benefits of synthetic. Supertech is better than fine regardless of which car one drives. 10,000 mile oil change intervals or 1 year which ever comes first is all that's required and of course a reinforced (synthetic) filter.

Supertech is perfect for the average daily driver in stock production vehicles. That said, it's the oil filter that can make a difference as there are a much wider range of quality in filters than in the oils themselves.

The motorcycle shop I worked for was buying oil in 55 gallon drums. We were using that oil to put in brand new motorcycles. engines were blowing, and it wasn’t just one particular engine size, it was several different size engines with the oil that we put in the engines.. One of the mechanics in the service department was doing a 500 mile service on a motorcycle that just came in. When he pulled the plug to drain the oil, the oil came out like foam. Like a frozen Coke if you have ever seen one of those. When you have foam in oil, that is millions of air bubbles that are compressible. When you have the elasticity of air bubbles in the oil, you cannot have full oil pressure. Anyone with experience of having air in your brakes, knows that that is not good, you don’t have full brake pedal pressure… we called the company we were buying oil from. They sent to representatives there. We took a brand new motorcycle, put in the required amount of oil, the mechanic rode the motorcycle for about 15 minutes. He pulled back into the shop and put the bike on the lift and pull the plug. I’ll came honey colored foam.. It was obvious that the oil additives package was lacking in anti-foaming additives.. that company agreed to pay for all of the engines, and we started calling all the customers, and going to pick up their motorcycles with our trailer.. we told them not to ride or even start their motorcycles.. some people demanded brand new engines, and got them..

I like Supertech 5W30 in my 2002 Saturn SC2. This vehicle calls for synthetic oil with a filter and oil change every 3,000 miles. These engines are also notorious for consuming oil, which may be why they call for such a frequent oil change interval. Mobil 1 is preferred, but Supertech full synthetic is probably going to hold up just as well for 3,000 miles. I would never seek to cut costs on oil filters, and would never consider Fram or house brand filters. I used Mann or Mahle filters in my VW's. I use WIX XP filters in my Saturn. Both Saturn and VW call for very specific bypass valve specifications. I simply do not trust that a generic oil filter manufacturer will honor those exacting specifications. If the bypass valve is not functioning to spec, then the engine will be starved for lubrication when it is cold, and that will definitely shorten the lifespan of your engine.

@@markwarnberg9504 No, Mobil does not manufacture oil for Walmart. There are 2 or 3 companies that do. Warren Oil is on e of them. SuperTech pure synthetic oil comes in a 10K variety and a 20K variety. Those are not to exceed limits. Best to follow your auto manufacturer's oil change interval. Only a fool is going to change the oil based upon it's soot content. The larger issue in modern cars is fuel contamination which thins the oil. If you want to have your oil tested by a lab, that is an option. No, paper filters are not "the best", and paper filters are not all built alike. Synthetic media tends to have a larger contaminant capture capacity which is better for longer oil change intervals.

I started as a Turf equipment mechanic straight out of High School in 1973. I always bought Penzoil because I thought it was the best.

Some people will only use a certain brand oil or filter, I have used Supertech oil for many years and have never had a problem with any car I have ever owned. I am 68 years old (now retired) and I have never paid anyone to change my engine oil and filter. More engine oil and oil filters are sold because of advertising than being the best product out there. I have saved many thousands of dollars by buying Supertech and Supertech/Fram/ Wix oil filters. I can't believe what the major auto parts stores want for 5 quarts of motor and a filter.

Conventional oils should be changed every 3-5k miles, but synthetics can last to 10k miles in normal cars with normal driving habits. But that doesn't mean you can change your oil FILTER every 10k miles. You still need to change your filter every 3k miles and remember to top off with the same oil (new oil) as what's already in the car. I've been using Supertech full synthetic 0-20 in my vehicles for years, and 5w30 before that. Never any engine problems, oil leakage, or blue smoke. My cars always fall apart in other ways that necessitate replacing them, but the engines have never been the reason. Always drive them into the ground before buying another. Always regret having to do it because the engines still run like new.

[@stevenredman1582]

I used to drive in Walmart's private fleet of trucks, running out of the Shelby NC DC. One of my regular dispatches was to a facility in Charleston SC to pick up loads of motor oil, already loaded on a trailer. The load manifests always said what was loaded on the trailer. There would be Havoline, Mobil 1, Castroil, Valvoline, Kendall, and the Walmart house brand Supertech, all synthetics. I never saw the bottles being filled so I can't say they are all from the same exact vat or tank of motor oil, only that those brands were loaded at the same place. In my opinion, they are probably all the same and oil changes at regular intervals is most important.

Vendors are now lined up around the block, because they know if they get a Wal-Mart contract, their product WILL sell! With that fact, Wal-Mart will order a minimum of 200 trailer loads of said vendors product. One of the few conditions is that if you want repeat sales to Wal-Mart you will have to sell them your product 10% cheaper than the prior year every year.

I used SuperTech Full Synthetic High Mileage 0w20 and 5w30 exclusively on all my vehicles paired with either SuperTech or Fram Ultra oil filter for several years now. I also went ahead and put it to the test their 10,000 miles claim and holy smokes Batman. The oil itself and the filter were still in unbelievably good condition. Not once have I ever felt my vehicles chugging, grinding or buckling and etcetera. All my vehicles run smoother than ever and my gas mileage has improved significantly and scout's honor when I say "it's not a placebo effect". If your vehicle is burning oil, that's a manufactured defect and not the oil itself and ten times out of ten the piston head, piston o-rings and seals are worn-out waiting or cracked and ready to break into pieces are the culprit. Cheers 🍻 Edit: I've paired all my vehicles with a magnetic oil drain bolt plug. Best investment anyone can ever make. Get the forged steel version. Also used either pink or yellow teflon tape since it can withstand over 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@meanodustino9563]

Love supertech. It has been my go to. I just get a high quality filter for the offset cost. And go 8000km. Though i feel it gets burned in a engine easier usually adding 1/4-1/3L between changes not a big deal

[@jeffruebens8355]

Look into adding Marvel Mystery Oil to the engine oil, maybe after 4000 miles to top it off and put the level slightly above full, then change it at 5000 miles. Valvoline and Pennzoil are probably the best for the price. Amsoil is good but expensive.

[@OtisFlint]

Why would you want to reduce oil life by adding garbage?

[@1painter4hire]

I use it, the high mileage full synthetic , change every 3k miles, pushing 275k right now. I think its just fine..

[@user-wm2tw]

I have a 1907 model T with 9 million miles. I’m original owner. It’s my daily driver. I’ve used supertech full synthetic from day 1 along with supertech filter. I change oil every 10,000 miles . It still runs like news. PS both of my kids and all 3 of neighbors kids were conceived in this car while using supertech oil. So far no complaints 😁

[@Walkercolt1]

ANY brand of motor oil with the API seal of "SG" or better is better than what comes in your engine from most factories, and is PERFECT for ANY spark ignition engine if the "weight" is correct for your engine. I was a teen back in the late 1960's-early '70's working at a "local brand" service station as a pump jockey. Lots of our customers used RE-REFINED (used and filtered and fresh additives added) motor oil that was in quart glass fruit jars, and I changed it. I have NEVER seen an engine failure due to "cheap oil" in my 70 years. Super expensive oils that aren't CHANGED or there is DUST on the dipstick(!!!) can blow-up an engine in two miles. I worked twenty years at the old Cities Service Oil and Gas Corp (Citgo) and we made our brand, no-names, and military spec oils for the SR-71, so WHO MAKES the oil is meaningless today. In the 1960's, you COULDN'T mix some brands of motor oil-it turned into "sludge". That can't happen today.

[@JR-kk6ce]

2010 Nissan Sentra SR with 259,040 miles (over a quarter ot a Million miles), on Supertech oil from day one. Only engine repairs have been a couple of coils, the starter, and alternator. Does not burn oil. Key is to change oil at most every 10,000 miles and don't run it like it's a race car. As for the oil filters, I always use the inexpensive ones, and I put a microwave magnetron round magnet on the outside bottom of the oil pan.

[@ddixon72]

I had a 2002 Intrepid w/ the 3.5L high output engine and at about 135,000 miles i needed a couple gaskets changed and the mechanic said it was the cleanest Chrysler engine he had ever seen inside no sludge and looked new. I had that vehicle untill 2021. I changed my own oil after the warrenty ran out with full synthetic Wal-Mart oil and a mopar oil filter every 5,000 miles. I will continue to use it in all my vehicles.

[@ricdonato4328]

My daily driver is a 2004 Nissan Xterra SE, purchased 2005; yes twenty years old. My oil choice is full synthetic, and based on price either SuperTECH 0W20 or Amazon Basics 0W20; sometimes one or the other have a sale price. Also, use Fram filter, thus both oil and filter are changed once a year.

[@SigmaSheepdog]

Interesting video. I have been using Super Tech oil for quite a few years in my Toyota Tundra and Rav4, as well as at least one of my motorcycles, with no issues. The Toyota's are now around the 150,000 mile mark and I never have to add oil between the 5,000 mile changes.

[@joephysics5469]

The channel Project Farm here on KZbin has lots of videos showing head-to-head oil testing. They definitely are worth watching. He also tests virtually anything under the sun.

[@k20fa5]

The Supertech high mileage full syn 10w-30 is the only oil that keeps the burning to a minimum in my kid's oil burning Kia. For some reason, it burns way less of it than any other oil I've tried.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

It’s the weight and the high mileage component. High mileage oils usually incorporate seal conditioners to expand rubber seals and make it harder to run out. The 10w-30 vs that 5w-20 water they want you to run is another thing. 10w-30 is considerably thicker and heavier. Given Hyundai/Kia engines and their propensity to burn oil thicker oil will be much harder to hork. The only trade off might be reduced oil pump life or extra wear from the heavier oil having issues moving quickly when cold

[@chuntzinger677]

I have used this for years and have had great results and saved a lot of money.Also,cheaper oil makes me want to change oil more often.

[@44hawk28]

I've been checking oil tests for more than two decades now, and supertech has outperformed Mobil 1 in tests of all times for a long time. So much so, that I used to use supertech oil along with the hard driver oil filter when the oil would not start getting dirty for almost 10,000 miles. When Mobil 1 bought that oil filter from hard driver and started putting their name on it, that oil filter quickly became about 60% to 70% as good as it once was. I now try and go with the Purolator boss oil filter and a good solid motor oil. Usually supertech. I find it more than adequate, there's only a few oils that outperform it, but for the vehicles that I drive it's more than adequate and better than mobile one by far. Roughly equal to Valvoline, Pennzoil and Amsoil will outperform supertech. Kendall will outperform all of them as it will take more heat than any other oil that I am aware of. I think Amsoil comes close. As for this video, about 60% of everything you said is categorically in error.

[@richardhaen]

Very good I have used Super reck oil for years I have got 432xxx on my 2006 Toyota Highlander, I change my oil every 10000 miles it runs great.

[@ericnewberry]

When I was a lube tech at Walmart I was always told it was pennzoil was who made super tech oils.

Yes, at one time there were multiple suppliers of it. However, it is mostly WPP supplied now.

[@dougdavis8775]

I like Supertech, Used it for years. I've even sent used oil off to blackstone labs for analysis. Turns out is was good.

[@softwaresignals]

Not Warren Oil, it is actually Highline Warren (formerly called Warren Distribution), not the same company as Warren Oil but often confused with it, that makes most of Walmart SuperTech oil, a good company BTW. I think they also make AmazonBasics oil, MAG1, and Costco's Kirkland oil too. The only deviation from that is something from years ago where Amalie made SuperTech in the Florida area, and in the southeast part of the U.S., for a while anyway.

[@googleusergp]

That is correct. It is not Warren Oil from North Carolina.

[@markwarnberg9504]

I read a while back that Mobil/Exsson bought up Warren Dist. Hard too keep track for all the big buying and selling going on. In the end it´s all pretty much the same oil with the API/ILSAC ratings so the choice is where you can get the best deal. A $2qt. vs $10qt does not mean you can drive 4 times longer! You still have to follow the owners manual recommendation for oil change.

[@faxmen09]

Spot On. Information this video completely bogus. I still call it Warren Distribution, but very recently change to name you mention. Yes, in addition to Super Tech, they make all the oils you mention.

[@Mark-rw3kw]

@@markwarnberg9504 After reading about them on their corporate website, I believe that Highline Warren is owned by a private equity company, and it manufacturers all kinds of automotive products, but also is a distributor for many major brands including Mobil, Shell (Pennzoil), Valvoline, etc, as well as many other automotive products besides motor oil.

[@DOLRED]

Life goes on. I used to be concerned about Sears Oil in the late 60s but used it (Because I got an employee discount). After crude oil is refined in one of those huge refineries, I wonder what more can a retailer do to make it better? Doing so just makes their product more expensive and prices them out from the "General Consumer Market." Same for gasoline. As the known quote goes "Motor oil is motor oil."

[@markwarnberg9504]

Good Video. I read that Mobil has bought up Warren. As for the oil... Warren buy´s it in BULK from Mobil and/or one or more of the major refineries depending on where they get the best deal as they do not have a refinery themselfs. They are a striktly "mixing/packageing company". We are talking about Group 3 oil which is used in most vehicles. The High End Group 4 oils are intended for performance vehicles like Nascar and Formul 1 and not for normal cars with catalitic converters where the Zink in Group 4 oils will clogg up the converter.

[@tonybernheim8365]

Ok...0w-20 Class 4 Dexos Cert. Super Tech Brand..Change 5 to 6 thousand miles with filter..All you need...Use Redline SL for the fuel tank treatments...All you need.....

[@tibadoe]

I have been using Supertech oil for a long time. Never an issue. It meets the spec requirements by the manufacturer so that's a start. Our Toyota recommends 10k services - I say no way. Cut it to 5k twice a year from day one and now at 90k / 9 years with no issues. As others have stated, oil change frequency is key, I would never go above 5k per change. If people understood oil filters, they would realize the filters are in by pass mode long before 10k. My other cars/truck are changed yearly which is around the 3500 mile mark.

[@stelthy100]

IVE BEEN USEING CASTROL GTX FOR YEARS NO ISSUES SO I THINK I WILL STICK WITH IT

[@Slugg-O]

SuperTech is good oil and there have been enough tests to prove it. However, just because an oil is made by a reputable manufacture is no guarantee it's the same as other oils from that company. The retailer will provide the manufacture with specs for x amount of oil at a certain price. The manufacture then produces oil at the agreed spec, but it is no guarantee that that it is the same oil that other retailers sell. They are simply providing them with oil according to their requested specs. This doesn't mean it's a bad thing as long as the buyer doesn't think he's getting Castrol, Valvoline, Quaker State, etc. from a bottle of SuperTech. Bottom line, if the oil is certified for use in an engine and changed *often,* use it and find something else to worry about.

[@kirstenspencer3630]

Tried supertech full synthetic 5/20 for my 2003 ford RANGER with 2.3 L ( 160 K miles ) seem good and after 1800 miles the motor seems happy. Satisfied customer. Oh I bought it because my Mobile 1 five quart bottles seem to leak at the ultrasonic seam welds.

[@anvilsvs]

The fact that some of the WalMart oils are supplied by Exxon Mobil does not mean that they are Mobil 1. I used to work for one of the best industrial lubricant suppliers in the world. We had access to both lab and real world test results for all major brands. I run Mobil1 in all of my gas engines, Rotella and Delo in the diesels. I change oil in the cars once a year. Which is probably why I usually only get maybe 300,000 miles out of an engine. There are currently three Chrysler minivans sitting in my yard with around 200,000 miles on each of them. And each of those engines looks new internally, not a trace of sludge or varnish. But I live in a mild climate and run no short trips. If you live in the north and run 1/2 mile trips in the winter changing oil every 6000 miles might not be often enough.

[@bjkarana]

I've used the synthetic grades of Supertech on my cars since 2007 and never had any wear issues. As you pointed out, OCI is what matters so long as it is an API certified brand.

[@bertgrau3934]

I have seen other channels test oils, and filters. I was surprised that Supertech oil and filters did very good. I use Supertech filters on my lawn mower engine 2-3 times a year. (Kohler V twin 25 horsepower) and use Supertech full synthetic 10W 40. If I can find it. If not I use 10W30. The engine was biild in 2004, has been used long and hard all these years. Smokes when first started, but stops smoking quickly. Takes about 30 minutes to cut my grass, after 4 cuttings uses about 1/4 on the dip stick, still over half in the safe range. I'm happy with it .

I've been using SuperTech 100% synthetic oil well over 20 years. Never had any problems ever.

[@DS-qz8xb]

Just because the Walmart oil may be made by Mobil or any other major oil co., doesn't mean that the chemical specs are the same. All of the oil manufacturers have their special chemical blends of motor oil. Any oil product made by them is done so with the particular recipe called for by the customer buying the oils. Look at the chemical makeup of Mobil 1 European blend vs Castrol basic synthetic oil. The chemical blend will be a little different. So, without knowing the chemical blends of the particular private label motor oil, there's no way to tell that it may or may not be the same as the major oil cos. product. I've found that these specs are hard to find, but they are out there.

[@steamy1225]

I've been using the super tech oil for the last 10 years in all my cars and changing it every 5 k miles no problems. It's not good to wait to 10k no mater how good the oil is. It can still sludge up and brake down from heat. 5w30 being the most I use. On car takes 5w20.

Here is what I do. I buy Supertech synthetic oil but STILL change it every 5k miles. I buy an FRAM extended life filter (10k rated) but STILL change it every 5k miles. The change frequency of 5k miles along with the extended use range of these options means I will always be within the the usage and protection limits of both. FYI, I drive under what vehicle manufactures would consider normal driving conditions.
