I was at WM, here in Canada, yesterday and noticed ST in 0w30. Talked to the tire lube guys who report that it's made by Shell. The back of the bottle says 'made in canada'. Anyone have experience with this oil? Any specs available? I doubt it's the same as ST at WM in the USA. And it's $23.99 to boot. Not bad for a readily available 0w30.
SuperTech 0w30

Never seen that in any WM stores! I'd give it a try if it was available near me.
Not to change the subject, but do they make a ST 0w-20?
Oh, I guess I did change the subject....

was $22.64 last month

they said all their ST oil is made by safety kleen
That doesn't sound right. According to their MSDS site http://msds.walmartstores.com/ Super Tech is primarily Specialty Oil Co. and Warren Distribution. I don't see 0W-30 listed at that site - maybe it's a Canada thing only?
Interesting side note - type in "oil" alone at that site, and look what all comes up...

They changed the name from Tech 2000 to Supertech this year. I have two jugs of ST 0W-30 in the basement and I've used the Tech 2000 0W-30 for the last five winters. It seems to be good oil. Here's a UOA on the 5W-30 synthetic:

Our 5W-30 ST Synth is Warren Dist. or Spec. Oil. depending on whether you buy the 5qt or 1qt. Warren only makes the larger container, SO the smaller. Strange.

Yeah, same SuperTech name, but different oil by different manufacturer then the USA.

Nice to see good UOA's on the safety kleen products, and recycled oil to boot. That hits my environment hippie side nicely.
Do you have any specs on the 0w30?
The PP (5/10w30) at $19.88 is a good deal so I stocked up on that. But it is sure nice to know there's a cheap alternative that performs very well.

FWIW.....
If you compare the factory stampings on the bottle and even the shelf codes at WM, it appears to me that the MFG is not saftey kleen for all of Supertech products.
My reasoning is that the product codes for garden variety safety kleen oils (re-refined oils) have an SK at the front, just like the SOPUS products (PZ, Shell etc) have a different code at the front. I have noticed that the Supertech synthetic offerings don't have an SK at the front of the product code in the shelf labels and the computer batch codes on the bottles are also different.
Further, I do not know whether saftey kleen makes (or even has the capacity to make) a synthetic product or whether it buys it in bulk from SOPUS, Petro Canada or Esso and packages it for WM. Products from each of these Manufacturers is available in WM.
In any case, these are clues that have led me to believe that the 0w-30 is not actually a safety kleen product but is a re-bottled Petro Canada or Esso product. The bottle/batch codes do not look to me to have similar coding to SOPUS products.

It's safety kleen! it goes under the name "Performance Plus" and "America's Choice Synthetic" on Safety Kleen's site. It's excellent oil, with a good dose of moly. There was/is a UOA of this stuff on a 4 cylinder ranger and the UOA was outstanding. Wal-Mart Canada's oil's have been rebranded from Tech2000 to SuperTech just like the USA has been for a while, but the oils are from completely different sources. All ST oils in Canada are made in Canada by S-K. While Tech2000/ST (Canada) synthetic has been a favourite of mine, did you also see PP was on sale for $19.95/4.4L. I got a jug of PP instead yesterday, which I strongly suspect is the near exact same formula as Motomaster Formula 1 synthetic oil because they smell exactly the same and theyre both made by Shell.

PP on sale, and for 19.88.. oh did I ever. For canada that's a wicked bargain. 10 jugs now.. couldn't stop myself from going back and emptying their shelves. At 10k km (6k miles) oci's I have enough for almost 4 years. I have a serious oil problem
Hopefully this stash will calm it a little for now

Here in Florida, there is no Super Tech 0w30
However, Green cap M1 0w30 is availible all the time.

Yup, all three former S2K, now ST synths are from the same place... they've rung identical on the 'olfactory' sensors since the SL formula! Like I say, S-K website also shows specifically those three synth grades under 'Performance Plus ZRS Synthetic' and 'America's Choice Synthetic'

The 5w30 and 10w30 are also listed on the API site, but on different pages

Maybe not right now though, with the Mobil 1 shortages... It was completely sold out here.

I've never seen Supertech 0W-30 here.
I'd buy it if it were available.
