Super S Multi-Flo Motor Oils provide the highest levels of
performance and protection ever offered in passenger car
motor oils (PCMO). They use the finest base oils and most
advanced additive technology available to meet the latest
(2011) fuel economy standards while exceeding standards for
wear control, piston deposits, cleanliness, varnish and sludge,
oxidation control, and emission system and seal compatibility.
The Ultimate in
Performance and Protection
RE
Just because a motor oil bears API and ILSAC certifications
doesn’t make it a top quality oil. Those are good standards
that tell you the product you’re buying meets particular
requirements for your vehicle. But, that doesn’t insure
that daily production meets those standards, and they are
minimum requirements.
Just because a company calls it a premium motor oil
doesn’t make it a top quality oil. Premium is a marketing
term, not an oil classification or certification.
At Smitty’s, we determined that the right way to become an
industry leader was to make a higher quality product at a
competitive price. There’s only one way to do that in oil:
1. Use the absolute best ingredients
2. Develop to exceed all ratings and approvals;
3. Use the best additive package available to provide the
absolute highest performance and greatest protection;
4. Maintain a state-of-the-art laboratory, actively involved
in the daily production of motor oil to insure the
highest possible quality.
5. Manufacture and package the oil under the most stringent of standards and tolerances in a rigorous process
involving laboratory testing and reformulation of every
batch of oil throughout the entire process.
Advanced Quality Assurance.
It’s a costly, time consuming process, well beyond industry
standards and practices, but it is your assurance that every
ounce of Super S Motor Oil is doing its absolute best for the
life, protection and performance of your vehicle.

Motor Oil... It’s More Than Just Slippery
What Does Motor Oil Really Do?
Base Oils, Additives and Quality Assurance
What About GM dexos1™ and
Synthetic Motor Oils?
How Often Should I Change My Motor Oil and Why?
Certifications: API and ILSAC - What Do They Mean?
Beyond The Certifications
Aren’t All Oils Essentially the Same?
What Makes One Oil Better Than Another?
What Makes Multi-Flo The Better Motor Oil?
So, What Does Motor Oil Really Do?
How Often Should I Change My Motor Oil?
Yes, it Lubricates...
Two factors determine when you should
change oil: when it loses its ability to
protect your motor and when the filter
no longer removes harmful particles and
contaminants from the oil.
You may not see it or notice it right away,
but critical damage is happening to your
engine when the oil and filter aren’t
changed at the recommended regular
intervals.
But, get a little oil on your fingers. You can’t just wipe it off.
It clings to your skin. It does the same with motor parts. It
seems odd, almost contradictory; but oil must flow, shear (or
slide) and cling, all at the same time! It needs to act like glue,
steel and water in order to do its job. Special additives
help base oils do this better, more efficiently and
effectively.
It Cools...
Oil helps to carry heat away from parts,
another reason oil circulation is so important.
A lot of heat is generated at points of high
shear (or stress), so oil must circulate to cool
and maintain its ability to function.
The most wear occurs when you start
your engine, especially cold starts. It
takes time for oil to flow up and about all
of the moving parts. Multi-Flo is specially
formulated to reduce this type of wear,
helping to extend the life of your engine.
But, you must regularly maintain your oil
and filter to realize that protection.
It Cleans...
Acids (which degrade oil) and other
products of combustion invade the inside
of your motor, cause internal wear, and
degrade additives. Detergents in oil aren’t
really like soap; they’re additives that hold
harmful deposits, particles and chemicals in
suspension to be captured in the oil filter as
oil circulates through the motor.
Oil
Most auto manufacturers recommend
changing oil every 3,000 miles. This
is a safe average for normal driving
under normal conditions. At this
point contaminants have built up and
additives have been depleted and/
or broken down so the oil is no longer
protecting your engine and the additives
have lost their effectiveness. The rate
of wear will increase and damage will
occur.
It protects against Corrosion...
The oil film keeps oxygen and corrosive gases
from getting to metal parts so they don’t
oxidize or corrode. If that happens, metal
surfaces get rough, oil can’t protect them as
well, and they wear quickly.
It Fills Gaps; Protects Seals...
The microscopic space between ring and cylinder wall
allows the pressure of combustion to leak by, robbing your
motor of power. The viscous nature of oil fills that gap and
helps to maintain pressure in the cylinder which gives you
more power and better gas mileage. It also fills the gap in
seals and keeps seals in good condition.
What about 2011 model year GM vehicles?
General Motors established a specification in excess of GF-5
trademarked as dexos1™ beginning with 2011 model year
gasoline engine vehicles and is a 5W-30 grade. For 2011 model
year (or newer) GM vehicles, use Super S dexos1™, fully
tested, licensed and approved by GM for warranty service.
Super S dexos1™ 5W-30 is a full synthetic formulation that
exceeds the protection and performance specifications established for dexos1™. GM now recommends this for 2010 and
older GM vehicles, especially Corvette and Cadillac.
Oil Filter
Install a new filter when you change oil. Most good filters will
work up to about 4,000 miles under normal conditions, and then
the filter media is filled up with the contaminants it removes
from the oil. Once the filter fills up it stops filtering. The filter goes
into a bypass mode so oil will continue to flow, but so will all the
garbage in your oil – and it will flow right through your motor and
slowly destroy it.
Changing your oil and filter every 3,000 miles helps to insure the
best protection and longest life for your engine.
What about Synthetic Motor Oil?
Consider Super S SuperSyn Full Synthetic Motor Oils if your vehicle
operates under extreme conditions - heavy loads, extended high
rpm, extreme hot or cold temperatures, excessive start and stop or when you want the ultimate protection for your engine.
Super S SuperSyn provides the ultimate in performance and
protection with a 100% synthetic oil made to the same standards
of quality as Multi-Flo.
About Base Oils, Additives and AQA™
Base Oil
This is refined lubricating oil, straight from the refinery, the
basic ingredient of motor oil. The quality, purity and composition is absolutely critical. But, to meet the AQA Standards for
Multi-Flo, multiple base oils are repeatedly tested, combined
and tested again until an ideal base oil is created. This process
alone sets Multi-Flo apart from other motor oils.
Additives
Special chemicals and compounds are blended with base oil
to further improve or modify certain characteristics of the
oil. Other compounds give motor oil additional properties.
The specific blend of chemicals and compounds is called an
Additive Package and includes, among other things, antiwear, extreme pressure and anti-foaming agents, dispersants,
detergents, seal conditioners, and viscosity and friction modifiers. The Super S Multi-Flo Additive Package is an extensive
and advanced formulation providing superior performance
and protection for your engine.
API and ILSAC Certifications1
Super S Motor Oils are licensed to show the API and ILSAC
certification marks.
An oil displaying the ILSAC certification starburst mark meets the current engine protection standard and fuel economy requirements of
the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee
(ILSAC), a joint effort of U.S. and Japanese automobile manufacturers.
Most automobile manufacturers recommend oils that carry the API
Certification Mark.
API’s Service Symbol and Certification Mark identify quality engine
oils for gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles. Oils displaying these
marks meet performance requirements set by U.S. and international
vehicle and engine manufacturers and the lubricant industry. More
than 500 companies worldwide participate in this voluntary program,
which is backed by a marketplace sampling and testing program.

refined properties to make Super S Multi-Flo: The Premium
Choice Among Premium Motor Oils.
Not all motor oils are made like Super S Motor Oils...
Because of the higher standards and tighter tolerances by
which it is produced, and because we use only the highest
quality base oils and additives, Super S Multi-Flo is the better
choice for your vehicle.
