Wally World Oil
Ok Was at Wal-Mart the other day and they had a house brand Full synthetic oil for the same cost as a brand name Dino Oil. Who’s oil is it? How can they sell it at half the price as Mobile 1?

Re: Wally World Oil
I don't know, seen the same thing too. Often wondered the same thing. Good question though. Is synthetic oil all the same? Synthetic is synthetic, right?
I still use mobil 1 when I run synthetic.
I believe Hydrocruiser here on the board had a big thread about the same kinda thing here last year.
Can anyone else that remembers it chime in please?
Thanks, Frank

Re: Wally World Oil
WalMart's brand of fully synthetic oil is called SuperTech and it is packaged by Warren Oil Company.
http://www.warrenoil.com/
Now Warren is a "re-packaging & blending" company...mostly anyways. They do not just sell their products. They do not blend a fully synthetic so it is another product repackaged. Which one..who knows?
Here is what they do:
Warren has packaging facilities in Dunn, NC, Benton, AL, San Antonio, TX, Johnstown, PA, Marion, ILL, And West Memphis, AR
Principal Business is as follows:
Compounding, Blending and Packaging of Automotive Lubricants and Household Chemicals
Custom Packaging
Distribution of all Major Motor Oils
Distribution of most Major Automotive Chemical Lines
Bulk Distributors of Warren and Lubriguard

It may be synthetic but, with what additive package?
Its hard enough to keep up with a big name, Mobils oil package can change frequently. As for a small company, who knows. Base stocks are the foundation for the house, additives are the stripppers inside the house.

In general using oils that are NOT intended for cars is the best way to go. The auto/diesel oils are very high in ZDDp...the higher weight oils too such as 15W-50 or 20W-50's. Nothing beats motorcycle oils.
For cars Mobil's 10W-40 Synthetic motorcycle oil is about the best thing going. That's what I would use in any car I was keeping or in a performance vehicle. ZDDP is around 1800 ppm.
Many auto oils now have ZDDP levels of 300-400 ppm....that means lots of wear that could be prevented.
