Who makes Walmart SuperTech Full Synthetic Oils?

The WPP bottles all look the same, but there are Super Tech bottles sold in other parts of the country that have a different shape to them. Some of them are the Mobil Clean 5000 shaped bottles, so I really doubt those are bottled by WPP.

Nope. XOM makes/bottles ST dino up here. The XOM tech sheets I have indicate "Walmart ST oil".

IMO, WPP is not big enough to supply the entire country's WM's with motor oil.

I think there is a misunderstanding here. I don't disagree with you at all about your claim of the source of the oil. But look at the bottom of the container and tell me if you see a WPP embossed on the plastic?

My claim is that WPP buys the oil in bulk and bottles it for Walmart (and maybe others). Sometimes they get the oil from a major oil company like XOM.

OK, maybe you are right about that. Look at the bottom of the container and see if there is a WPP embossed in the plastic.

Well, there you go. What the heck do I know, I'm retired, old, and out of touch. We have a member on this site by the name of Ferndog who says he is in product development for Shell, Pennzoil, and Quaker State.

From now on I relinquish all Shell information to be addressed to him. I will start posting in he general and off topic section and only then if it has anything to to with grandkids, as I'm an expert on that.

Negative. I knew to get the XOM tech sheets because the bottles are of the XOM design and have the "G" imprint on the bottom.

Thanks for the info. I guess that Walmart doesn't like to single source stuff, as others have said, so they can squeeze suppliers for the best price. Toyota is also good at doing that, having two suppliers for most every part.

Did you see this Link to MSDS for SUPER TECH® Full Syntetic Motor Oil?
http://msds.walmartstores.com/cache/347432.pdf


Yes. Look at the dates.

Also, Wal-Mart uses different suppliers in different parts of the country. In the South, Warren is the supplier of Super Tech lubricants.

The only way to know for sure is look at the ink stamped number on the bottle. If it has a W in front of it, it's Warren.

No worries, Johnny. Things change, even in a short time.

I think your mistaken. He are msds on Warren's site for Exxon-Mobil. They must be packaging it for them.

Up here in the North (at least my part of the north) all of the Super Tech conventional, high mileage and synthetic oils are WPP.

For some strange reason, WPP has MSDS's on their site for products they don't make.

Or...they're distrubuting it for them, again, depending on the location. If WPP moves one bottle, they need to list the MSDS.
Listing an MSDS doesn't mean they make it/bottle it.

They must be bottling it for them. Would be just plain insanity otherwise. They must be involved in the process somewhere along the line.

They do that because they have to. Their evironmental health and safety officer has the MSDS sheets for the cleaner they use on the pooper.

Here is a newer MSDS for SuperTech Synthetic 10W-30 dated 07/07/2008:
http://msds.walmartstores.com/cache/598057.pdf
It shows Specialty Oil Company (Sopus) as the manufacturer/supplier. However, I can see now that there are probably different suppliers in different parts of the country.
