ACEA Specs are very good specs compared to American driven fuel economy and 500,000 mile cat protection. With that being said note that ACEA ("Euro")specs but are very year dependent.
Here is the email response I got from Valvoline on Synpower.
"Thank you for your questions and we would be happy to help. When we state ACEA claims on our products, it is for the latest version that has been released. For example: In the case of the Synpower products, the A1 & A5 covers all specs through A1-08 & A5-08."
Even though Valvoline Synpower is a group III as most American synthetics I highly suspect they use far more group IV stock or components thereof.
Think on the back of the Penz Platinum Bottle I read they were only like ACEA -02 specs I believe and Ultra does not bother with listing any ACEA specs whats up with that? ? ?
Remember anytime reading ACEA spec they are very year dependent as significant changes where made over the years and if they year is not mentioned you must question.
Any other American Oils up to the ACEA A1-08 and A5-08 specs?
Regards
