    That's good to know. I have never seen it in our Walmart, & I have looked for it. I searched again typing "Super Tech 0W-20 full synthetic oil" rather than do an on line sort, & it did come up on line. $15.98 for a 5 quart jug.

    They even have the Super Tech full synthetic 0W-20 for high mileage cars (same as Mobil). I am surprised Walmart isn't carrying this in my area store, because more and more cars are going with this type oil. If it isn't in the stores soon, it's nice to know a person can order some. That's a good price.

    I have a couple jugs of Mobil 1 that I bought with a rebate, but I see myself going with Super Tech in the future. Thanks for proving it exists. I thought it was odd that it would show up on Amazon & not be offered by Walmart. Now, we know it is offered!

    Steve, so you believe that Warren Distribution is (making/blending/otherwise the source of) Mobil 1 motor oil?

    I never said anything about Warren Distrubution. I simply said Exon Mobile is one of my clients and I saw Super Tech Brandee oil in their display case. Exon makes a lot of different products including Toyota branded oil. I have no clue who Exon uses for a distributor.

    I'm sure it's fine oil but I'll stick with Mobil one for 22.97 at walmart. Not all fram filters are garbage. Their ultra filters are excellent. They are synthetic and They filter very well and the mirage usually doesnt make even a slight valve sound on start up with the fram ultra. Once in awhile I hear it for not even a second.
    On Mobil and wix filters I've heard it most of the time and for longer.

    Good point. I figured you were drawing a business link between the two companies and since SuperTech is by Warren Distribution, Mobil1 is too. My bad, and thanks for clarifying.

    And by the way, it is my understanding there are two petroleum businesses under the name Warren. One is Warren Oil, another is Warren Distribution. Warren Distribution lists some of their brands here.

    That quote states they offer different (differentiated) stuff to different customers, so I wouldn't consider the Amazon line of motor oils to be the same as SuperTech or Mobil1 products.

    I'm not sure if the two are related, or if there are more petroleum businesses with 'Warren' in their title.
