Hi Forum,
I know there have been many issues discussed here in the past regarding what is the best engine oil recommended for the Healey.
So, my personal history and thoughts...
For many years, I have used the Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil. But availability and costs have become and issue in recent years.
So, I switched over to Mobil 1 15w50 and I have been using that for about a couple of years now. Much cheaper in costs and can pull it off the shelf from my local Walmart. Considering I do not do any hard driving and change my oil frequently, I see no major concerns here. Agreed?
OK, tonight, as I acquired the usual Mobil product from the Walmart shelf, I noticed for the first time, Walmart's brand of "Super Tech" 20w50 Engine Oil.
I checked the "RAT" Blog again, which I believe has been posted here on the Forum almost a year ago (and if you should have any trouble finding it here, you can find it easy enough on the internet simply by typing the same as I indicated). The Engineer's analysis ("RAT" Blog) of all oils' specs, as virtually thorough and complete as it is, does not include this particular one (20w50). Maybe a new addition to the market.
Just curious to know if anyone has used this particular brand or knows anything about it. The Mobil 1 is starting to climb in costs, like everything else, and just curious to know any opinions about the Super Tech.
Thanks.
