9/15/2023 0 Comments Walmart doing oil changes![]() ![]() If you want to check for yourself, the best way to find out is plugging in the UPC barcode of your specific grade of SuperTech oil into Walmart’s MSDS directory. While Warren Distribution remains a primary supplier of Super Tech oil, Walmart has branched out to other companies to meet the growing suite of oil’s that today’s consumer demands (Synthetic blends, High-Mileage synthetics etc.) The Delfin Group USA supplies Walmart with Super Tech 5W30 Conventional. This Super Tech oil is supplied by Highline Warren.Īnd here, it looks like conventional 5W30 is made by the Delfin Group USA out of Charleston, SC, which, according to this article, is now a subsidiary of the Amelie Oil Company. If we click on another Super Tech oil, this 20W50 is supplied by Highline Warren Distribution. CITGO supplies Walmart with Super Tech Full Synthetic 5W30 among other oils. is supplied by the CITGO Petroleum Corporation. Here we can see Full Synthetic 5W30, Full Synthetic 10W30, High mileage 10W40 and etc. ![]() However, checking Walmart’s MSDS database, it looks like who makes Super Tech oil might be oil blend specific. Walmart carries of full suite of oils including conventional, synthetic, synthetic blend, high mileage synthetic, and high mileage conventional.įor many years, it was believed, Omaha, NE-based Warren Distribution made oil for Walmart’s Super Tech lineup of lubricants.Ĭontrary to that, another popular theory was that Warren Distribution didn’t make all Super Tech Oils, motor oil was region specific, and Super Tech oil was made by which private label oil maker was the nearest to your store. I been using both Castrol GTX Magnatec & it for all of my new cars with no issues.Here’s why you don’t need to worry putting Walmart’s house brand of oil even in the newest cars. On the subject of oil, all the oils sold by Walmart is fine including their brand Super Tech full Synthetic is good enough for normal use(It is noticeably cheaper.Look for it in the 5-Quart container.). If drainage time seems short(old oil still coming out noticeably or using impact gun or air-ratchet to put the plug back in, go to another shop. ![]() ![]() If you want a shop to do it for you, check (If you can see from outside the work area.)visually first for other customer's car being worked on & note how long they drain the old oil out & how the plug is reinserted & tighten. who are rushing to get to next car, you can afford to wait to get more of that dirty oil drained out, and will take the time to put the plug back in by hand so as not to strip out the pan threads ( Happen to family members multiple times!). Your at 7 quarts, so it's probably going to cost extra.Īs a carnut & former ASE Master Mechanic, I would generally advise to still doing oil changes yourself ( unless you are getting to old.). Usually it's only for up to 5 quarts and anything more will cost extra. You better confirm if that $44 is for all makes and models. I'm a bit protective and what-not about my vehicles, so I'll probably continue to do it myself as long as I am physically able, but it looks like I need to find a different reason other than "value" which has gotten me this far. This is the advertised price for "Castrol synthetic" which I'm not sure if it is the same as the stuff on the shelf, or not. Even if there is an upcharge for the extra quarts of oil, that's almost a push with doing it yourself. My truck takes 7 quarts, so buying two 5 quarts gives me some extra for top-off, so there's a benefit there.īut I notice that their full synthetic oil change is on "rollback" now for $44. So if I buy the Edge-Black-bottle, I'm in it for $22 times two, plus $4 for the filter. Lately, I've been using one of the many synthetics available at walmart, often Castrol, and a Napa Gold filter. something I don't particularly enjoy, but something I can do to save some money.īut I'm not sure if I'm saving money anymore. I've never had anyone change my oil for me. ![]()
