In case, it hasn't been posted in a while, and anyone in curious.. these are the HTHS numbers just gotten from Valvoline.
That Maxlife Syn looks pretty good. But I think GC still takes the cake for 30wt (albiet at the viscous end). Synpower MST is probably the only other A3/B3 30wt oil in North America, but apparently it's sold in bulk to dealers and not available directly to the public because it's developed with the manufacturers.
Synpower:
0W/5W-20: 2.6cst
5W/10W-30: 3.0
For comparison:
Synpower Maxlife:
5W-20: 2.9
5W/10W-30 3.2/3.3
PP
0W/5W-20: 2.6cst
5W/10W-30: 3.1/3.15
PUltra:
5W-20: 2.7
5W/10W-30: 3.1/3.2
M1
0W/5W-20: 2.6/2.62
0W/5W/10W-30: 2.99/3.09/3.14
