Super Tech oil filters are sold at Walmart and are made to fit thousands of vehicle models, but you need your vehicle's year, make, and model to find the correct one
Super Tech is Walmart's house brand of oil filters. They cost less than name brands like Mobil 1 or Fram, and they work the same way — they trap dirt and debris as oil circulates through your engine. The challenge is that oil filters come in different sizes and thread types, so a filter made for a Honda will not fit a Ford. Walmart's website and in-store lookup tools let you search by your vehicle information to find which Super Tech filter goes in your car.
You do not need to guess or buy the wrong filter and return it. The lookup process takes a few minutes and tells you the exact part number before you buy.
Key Takeaways
- Super Tech filters are available at Walmart in stores and online, and you find the right one by entering your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine size.
- Walmart's website has a parts finder tool under the automotive section that shows which Super Tech filter fits your vehicle and its part number.
- You can also call a Walmart automotive department or visit in person with your vehicle information to have staff look up the correct filter.
- The part number matters because it tells you the filter's size and thread pattern — using the wrong number means the filter will not fit or seal properly.
Using Walmart's website to find your Super Tech filter
Go to Walmart.com and navigate to the automotive section. Look for the parts finder or oil filter search tool — the exact location changes sometimes, but it is usually under "Car Care" or "Oil & Fluids." Click on oil filters, then select "Super Tech" as the brand.
Enter your vehicle's year, make, and model. Some tools also ask for engine size or displacement — if yours does, you can find this on your vehicle registration or by searching your vehicle's VIN online. Once you enter this information, Walmart shows you the Super Tech filter that fits, its part number, and the price. Write down or screenshot the part number so you have it when you go to the store or complete your online order.
Finding your vehicle information for the lookup
The lookup tool needs four pieces of information: the year your vehicle was made, the make (the brand — Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, etc.), the model (the specific car name — Civic, F-150, Camry), and sometimes the engine size. You can find all of this on your vehicle registration or insurance card.
If you do not have those documents handy, look at your vehicle's VIN — a 17-character code stamped on the driver's side dashboard or door jamb. You can enter your VIN into free online decoders like the one at NHTSA.gov, and it will tell you the year, make, model, and engine size. This takes about a minute and removes any guesswork.
Looking up your filter in a Walmart store
If you prefer to shop in person, bring your vehicle information to the Walmart automotive department. Staff there can use the same lookup system to find your Super Tech filter, show you the part number, and tell you if it is in stock. This is useful if you want to see the filter before buying or if you need it when ready.
Some Walmart locations have kiosks in the automotive section where you can enter your vehicle information yourself. Others require you to ask a staff member. Either way, have your year, make, and model ready so the lookup takes less than five minutes.
Understanding the part number and what it means
Every Super Tech filter has a part number like ST6008 or ST7007. This number tells you the filter's diameter, height, and thread size — the specifications that determine whether it will physically fit your engine. Two vehicles might both need an oil filter, but they need different sizes because their engines are different.
Using the wrong part number means the filter either will not screw onto the engine properly or will not fit in the space where the filter sits. This can cause leaks or prevent the filter from working. That is why the lookup tool is important — it matches your specific vehicle to the specific Super Tech filter designed for it.
What to do if your vehicle is not in the lookup system
Older vehicles, very new models, or unusual makes sometimes do not appear in Walmart's online lookup tool. If your vehicle does not show up, call the Walmart automotive department directly. Staff can search their system manually or help you find a Super Tech filter that works for your engine size and type.
You can also take your vehicle to a Walmart with an automotive service center and ask them to look up the filter in person. They have access to more detailed databases and can often find filters for vehicles that do not appear online. If Walmart cannot find a Super Tech filter for your vehicle, they can recommend another brand they carry.
Comparing Super Tech filters to other brands at Walmart
Super Tech filters are the lowest-cost option at Walmart, but Walmart also sells Mobil 1, Fram, and other brands. All of these filters do the same job — they remove contaminants from oil. The main differences are the filter media (the material that traps dirt), the anti-drainback valve (a part that keeps oil in the filter when the engine is off), and the price.
Super Tech filters have these features and meet industry standards. They are a solid choice if you want to save money. If you prefer a filter with extra features or a brand you trust, Walmart's lookup tool works for those brands too — just select a different brand name instead of Super Tech.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a Super Tech filter from a different vehicle in mine?
No. Each filter is designed for specific engine sizes and mounting types. Using the wrong part number can cause leaks, reduce oil flow, or damage your engine. Always use the part number the lookup tool shows for your exact vehicle.
Where do I find the part number if I already bought a Super Tech filter?
The part number is printed on the filter itself, usually on the top or side. You can also find it on your receipt or in your Walmart account order history if you bought it online.
Do I need to know my engine size to use the lookup tool?
Most of the time, no — entering year, make, and model is enough. Some vehicles have multiple engine options, and the tool will ask you to choose. Your registration or VIN decoder will tell you which engine your vehicle has if you are unsure.
Can I order a Super Tech filter online and pick it up in the store?
Yes. Walmart offers online ordering with in-store pickup for most Super Tech filters. Use the website lookup tool, add the filter to your cart, and choose pickup at a store near you. This usually takes a few hours to a day.
What if the Super Tech filter I need is out of stock?
Walmart can order it for you, or you can check nearby Walmart locations to see if they have it in stock. You can also choose a different brand from the lookup results if you need a filter right away.
