I did a search but got no results.

The oil is quite a bit cheaper than other brands. I don't mind paying extra for quality, but I DO mind paying extra for a brand name if there is no added quality in that brand.

I am going to try this in my wife's car but was curious about using it in the Evo.

Use what it says on your oil cap for the evo. Pay the extra few bucks and guarantee the life of your evo.

Evos are not cheap cars so i dont know y you would want to skimp on an important part of the car!
this is not a car that you want to put garbage in instead of a quality proven product!
if u want to save money i suggest a honda!

Mobil 1 isn't what it used to be, do some research. Supertech won't protect your engine as some of the better Full Syn Oils like Pennz Plat,Ultra, Valvoline Syn...

Wow, it looks like nearly every replier didn't actually read my entire post, LOL. I will try the question on the other forum.

No doubt. I read through everything wondering if there is a difference. I'd take a closer look at the bottle and see if you can see who manufactures it.

Go to the Bob is the oil guy forums...

IIRC, it wasn't a bad oil.

Just search for results from oil analysis.

If you want to "pave" the way then you could test your oil that's in their now and document the mileage. You can send it in to be tested, switch to this other oil and run the same mileage on it and have it tested. You can buy the test kits for like 25 bucks.

$22 for 5 quarts of mobil 1 at WM. why even look for anything else. I run mobil synthetic in every car i have.... even my bucket throw away commuter.

In my Higher HP cars I run only Amsoil. But with my others I run Wallyworld's Mobil 1, cant beat it at $25 out the door price.

I agree. I prefer the Amsoil synthetics (and run longer intervals) and run whatever is on sale in the beater. To answer your question, I wouldn't cut corners on motor oil in your X. Mobil 1 isn't much more than the Supertech synthetic if that's what you're looking to run.

He's not asking what everyone runs he is just wanting to know how it would compare to other synthetics. That's why a test would be in order to determine how it stacks up to the other oils.

i put walmart supertech in my lawn mower.


if you do , do a used oil analysis do it in your wifes car and at no greater intervals than 3000 since it is unknown how the oil performs. i just dont thinkits worth all the hassle for the $3-$8 that you save buying supertech vs mobil 1 (in the jug).

This sounds like the perfect opportunity to buy it, try it, do a UOA (Used Oil Analysis) and get back to us with results.

I'd start conservatively with a 3,000 mile usage, drain, test, and see what the labs say.

edit: I see someone already provided this response mid-thread. seconded!
