Supertech High Mileage ATF (Mercon)
Just saw in Wally's World a few days ago that they have regular ATF, and High Mileage ATF, with the latter one being slightly more expensive.
Does anyone know the differences between the two? I assume the HM formula has some seal conditioning agent in it. But is there anything more to it?
TIA

I believe that Quaker State bottles Super Tech oils. At least a few years ago I asked Walmart who packed their oils and that is what I was told. You should be able to either ask Walmart about their oils or ask Quaker State. That shouldn't be a trade secret all your asking is the difference between HM & reg ATF.

A google search on WPP brought up an older thread here:

I guess I probably have to take a close look at the bottle in the store. Who would be "Plastipak" and "G", BTW?

I just looked at the blue bottle oil at Wally. Sure enough, WPP on the bottle.
I looked at some grey bottle ST oil that I bought earlier this year, it says "Plastipak" on it.
Some ST oil that I bought last year has a "G" in a square on the bottom.
Interestingly enough, the ST auto tranny fluid in the store today has "PZLQS" on the bottom. I guess we all know who made it.

You are always goin to get 20 different answers for "who makes Supertech oil?". Many are right in some regards and outright wrong in others.
The Skinny is that Wal-Mart takes in bids for any blender to make their Supertech house brand. Many times it can be two or three different regional blenders making Supertech at the same time. SOPUS, Mobil and WPP have or had made Supertech at one time. While WPP is often the most encountered blender, people on the east coast can at times find Mobil blended Supertech labeled oil. This is not to say the Supertech labeled oil made by Mobil is the same as the Mobil labeled oil.
A year from now, the Supertech could be made by someone else totally different than who is making it today. So long as the current and any future blender meets the API spec, I would not get wrapped around the axel trying to figure out who the current maker or makers is.
