i use mobil 1 synth, and mobil 1 oil filter, altho the price of the filter is a bit steep at $10.......................for one of my other cars , i also use mobil 1 synth, i read that the super tech filters filter as good if not better than the mobil 1...................was wondering what you guys think about this, i found that their oil is made by exxon/ mobil and a few others thrown in a guess................im going to stay away from the oil, just like frams stuff...............but the filter seems enticing.........

 

I use super tech synthetic every oil change. The reason I use it is because it's cheap...can't beat $12 for 5 quarts of synthetic. I figure it this way it has to mee to r exceed ASE standards...so I figure because of that it is atleast better than the best dinosaur oil.

 

you think that mobil 1 synth would be no better for my engine than super tech? what about the filter? its for my girls car, she wants to know why the filter is $12 ,hehe.....................................i could see maybe the filter, im not so easy with running super tech oil in my bird tho...............maybe im wrong


one thing i find odd, when i walk thru the walmart service center , their using penzoil oil and fram filters,huh

 

wasp, i use to work @wal-mart in the t.l.e..i was dept.mngr. i had customers that swore by supertech oil & filters.had 1 customer that had a car with 350,000 miles on a toyota camry ,said all he ran was supertech filters & oil.also had others that wouldnt run it for anything.guess its up to the individual?supertech rep swares their filters are better than most,and exxon/mobil does make it .hope this helps .later,jimmy

 

well i found this,http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/28...-tech-oil.html


claims exxon /mobil makes dino oil only, not synth(anyone know who wpp is?)...............and champion labs makes their filters, same as champion plugs?

of course thats 2 years old, anyone have up to date info?

 

All oil has a standard that it must meet so the ASE or ASI whatever it is means that it is okay. Now then synthetic oil is better than regular oil. That makes me believe that super tech synthetic is better than mobil 1. As far as filters go your on your own I run AC delco. I once read an article that did a complete break down on oil filters.

 

i meant if you had the option of mobil1 synth or supertech synth, youve read ac delco is the best filter?

 

check this out, not only does champion labs make supertech filters, they also make ac delco and mobil1....................this is getting very interesting

I forgot what the best filter was I just use ac delco.

 

According to a website I read that did a complete break down of oil filters, puralator pure 1 was one of the best if not the best, ac delco was not far behind.
