PQIA (AGAIN) ISSUES CONSUMER ALERTS ON SUPER XXX and LIBERTY GOLD PLUS SMO

There are two brands of engine oils in the mid-west that consumers should avoid at any price. These brands include Super XXX marketed by New World Sales in Midlothian, IL, and Liberty Gold Plus SMO sold by Pinnacle Brands, Chicago, IL.  

 Whereas these products may be plentiful in convenience stores and priced a few cents lower than others on the shelf, they will likely cost you plenty in engine repairs if you use them.

PQIA tested these brands in 2011 and 2012 and found serious deficiencies with the products each time tested. Whereas the details of the most recent round of testing can be found by clicking on the bottles, in short, these brands are not fit to be used in any car engine currently on the road. In fact, if used, it's likely the car will not be on the road for long. This is because these products have viscosities painfully    lower than needed to protect an engine. In addition, they contain little to no additives to protect moving parts, and they have very high levels of silicon which is often attributed to abrasive contamination.

New Car or Old, Be it a Bentley or a beater...steer clear of these brands.
