What is the best 5w30 oil I can buy at Walmart?

Conventional: Castrol GTX
Synthetic: Valvoline SynPower
Disregarding price: Royal Purple
Also, you could think about something like M1 0w40. Which is known to shear to a 30 weight. I think you could probably run it in just about anything that calls for a conventional 5w30 w/o issue.
HDEO (it's 5w40 though but at the least, it could be a great summer oil for you, to combat the heat): Rotella T6
All... In My Opinion, of course.

How can people say RP is a great oil when the published specs are incomplete?
I would add any Valvoline oil to the list. Their conventional and synthetics are very good. Not super long drain oils, but great for OEM intervals.
About two years ago or so, Valvoline pulled several convetional 5w30 oils off the shelf and did a shear comparison test. Their 5w30 had the best shear stability of all conventional 5w30 oils.
