They're probably gathering bids from suppliers for this grade even now.
I beg your pardon
I know quite a few people with newer vehicles that use ST fluids.
Not everyone is stuck on using "name brand" oils anyways
You may beg as you wish.
I don't use ST in anything simply because it's a cheaply formulated oil, which is the reason that it lacks that most expensive and most desirable add, moly.
If one wants a cheap store brand oil, there are better and cheaper options from RK and Meijer and their oils actually do contain a small slug of moly.
I don't know anyone who actually uses ST. Not even Walmart uses it in their TLEs.
I put it in a leased Nissan Sentra that I maintain. It can take conventional 5w-30 according to the owners manual. I can't justify putting the better clearance oils in it that I can use in my own stuff.
I also ran it in my brand new Ford Focus a few times. I see no issues with it.
My Subaru has to have 0w-20 and receipts while under warranty. As soon as I find it on the shelves, I'll put it in the Subaru too.
