Was a long time PP uses until the recent price hike at my local Wal-mart. Went from 4.01 to 5.87 over night. Still cheaper than most store in my area but was wondering how PP compared to Napa Syn 5-30.

You guys just had some kind of crazy pricing thing going on in California that didn't exist anywhere else. PP was $5.97 here, then recently dropped to $5.87
Our Family Suburban has been switched between PP and Napa Synth multiple times (I tend to buy whichever is a better buy...).
I follow the OLM down to 15% and have yet to notice any difference between the two. I'm imagine I should run a UOA, but there a trillion worse things you could do to your engine then split the hairs between the two oils.

They are both Ashland product: Valvoline Synpower and NAPA Synthetic. NAPA will have a slightly weaker additive package, but for 5-6K OCI it will work fine. Buy whatever is cheapest.
