Super tech synthetic oil from Walmart
Was looking in Walmart and saw this oil. It's cheaper than the Castrol full synthetic I usually get. Has any one used it? Is it any good?

Stay way from Castrol Syntech.
It formed a hard red varnish in my high performance hot engines.
Castrol sued Mobil ! and won entitling them to label their highr refined Castrol Syntech as Full Synthetic oil. So Mobil ! and all the rest went that route.
Some Mobil1 Euro spec oils are now real Ester based synthetics.
Someone else here, posted a reply a few years ago with info of who was selling full synthetic here in the US Redline is one. there is a difference a in the early commercials in the seventies when the real ester based synthetics came out. You cn't hold the blade of a screwdriver dipped in it between finger and thumb. I hd to replace the gaskets in my Plymouth when I first used it. Ol was so slick and thin and it shrunk some of the gaskets designed to swell in the presence of dino oil.
Service Tech at Mercedes says my Mobil 1 oil they install is now the real deal.
Porsche and some Honda engines use their propritary real synthetic oils and ATF.
On edit Mobil sued Castrol not the other way around
Second Eruo Spec is determinedby Scientists and in the US "Synthetic" and in the US by Business Men and the Court.
