ST does not meet ACEA A5/B5. If it did, I would use it in my S60 without hesitation. I do use it in my S70 and Sierra when it's the lowest $$ option. (IE when I need to change but there is no rebate available)
tiger862 said:I use an oil that meets spec and Supertech doesn't so I would take Havoline ProDS in 6qt box for 19.95. Heck if I wanted conventional then Havoline conventional is 14.95 for 6qt. box.
I am curious. Exactly what spec does Super Tech not meet? From what I see its meets every spec for a vehicle sold in America. If that's not true please advise because there is a much larger price difference ( NOT 2 bucks) between it (sales aside) and any other similar weight and type oil available where I live.
It doesn't meet Chrysler spec which I have a 18
Grand Caravan under warranty.
Neither the MS-6395 nor the SRT MS-12633 are REQUIRED to maintain your warranty, per the owners manual. They only care that you use the proper grade of API certified oil. If they wanted it required, they would have written that like they do for the octane ratings needed. All MS-6395 is is a mirror of ILSAC GF-5 and a 2 year fleet test. It's not special.
Selection Of Engine Oil For Flexible Fuel Vehicles
(E-85) And Gasoline Vehicles
FFV vehicles operated on E-85 require specially formulated
engine oils. These special requirements are included in
Mopar engine oils, and in equivalent oils meeting FCA US
Material Standard MS-6395. It is recommended that engine
oils that are API Certified and meet the requirements of
Material Standard MS-6395 be used. MS-6395 contains
additional requirements, developed during extensive fleet
testing, to provide additional protection to FCA US LLC
engines.
