I do not know for certain, but I have read here that Pennzoil/Quaker State produces their Super Tech dino oil. Probably, safe to assume they bottle Wal-Mart's synthetic oil, however it is pure speculation on my part. ED

Don't know about the syn.
QS does make a lot of WW fluids, just not the dino.

I was reading over on bobistheoilguy.com that the walmart full synthetic is not as good as mobil1.
Out here they have the 5 quart jug of walmart oil synthetic for 11.99 or something, and the mobil1 is 19.99, so its a no brainer to get the mobil1.

ah, i say use the ST synthitic for that price. all oils have to go through extensive testing and have to be aproved by the petriluim institue to be on the market it may not be the best but synthic is synthic and they make it affordable. so go with it.

synthetic is not synthetic. Mobil is a PAO base, and some "syns" are just a hydrocarbon cut, or rerefined dino oil.

All synthetics use a petroleum base.
However, you will see that Synthetics contain patents. Thats for the shape of the molecular chains and rings that make up the "oil".
As a result of this patenting, no two synthetics are the same, and there are rarely even the same polymers that make up the "oils".
As far as that goes, you should stay with the same synthetic all the time, rather than being able to just buy whats on sale with dino, cause no matter what anyone says, its all the same.

the only diffrence between the syns is the additive pacage, some have a better additive pacage than others. i know i would never pay the outrageus price of mobil 1. you get basically the same syn oil with the ST. if you pay mobil 1 prices than you talking about a 30 dollar oil change. its just not worth it to pay for there advertising.
