I was at my Wal-Mart tonight and noticed something new - Valvoline Synpower 0w20. They now have another option other than the Mobil 0w20. It was about 30 cents a quart cheaper if I remember right.

excellent oil
Very tempting.
I have 4-5 cases Synpower 5w20 I bought 1.5 years ago. I don't know if I can exchange it for 0W20 ?

You prolly could...but why?

Funny timing. I went to Wal-Mart this weekend fully intending to buy some Edge 5w-30 as a summer oil for the Civic and ended up buying 4 quarts of Synpower 0w-20 instead. I think it's been available at our Wal-Marts for a while.

I don't think most people are going to buy Valvoline over M1 for a mere $0.30/quart in savings. Or stated the other way, someone who is undecided will probably reach for M1 0w-20 for a mere $0.30 more over Valvoline. Now move it to $1+ ??...
It's hard to trump that M1 banner.

cool I can use it in my fj.
They have the 5q.
About time! I was starting to think Synpower 0w20 was just the stuff of urban hypermiling legends.
Now where's the Pennzoil Platinum 0w20?

I didn't see the 0w-20 in jugs today, but thought I did before.

It would be nice if Valvoline provided the HTHS vis for their oils, but assuming it's likely 2.6 cP like most 20wt oils, I prefer M1's stat's for the lower 40C vis and somewhat higher VI.
