+1. This is probably the best conventional oil you can buy that does not have the controversial seal sweller/conditioner additives.
Does the Corvette spec Dexos1 now?

I hope we get the jugs at our WM. So far we have only got the quart bottles (a little more expensive). I would seriously consider this oil. If it meets dexos1 the NOACK is similar to PP.

Yeah it calls for dexos 1. Looking at the LZ chart, the dexos 1 spec is pretty stringent. More so than the basic SN/GF-5.
FWIW, the seal conditioners (from everything I've read) should be of no concern.

Valvoline seal reconditioners used in the MaxLife High Mileage Oils, are not swelling additives. The seal reconditioners used in our formula help to condition the seals back to their original elastic form and shape, to allow proper sealing, but not swelling.

True...lets face it...either the higher tier "syns" are not worth as much as they cost for most vehicles OR dexos1 is not that stringent of a spec and more of a money making ploy by GM. I am sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

My Walmart updated their oil section recently. They added
M1 0w-20 jugs
M1 0w-30 jugs
M1 0w-40 jugs/quarts
Rotella T6 jugs
Pennzoil Synthetic-Blend jugs
Still have to go to the Walmart in the next town over for Royal Purple, G-Oil, M1 15w-50, PP 0w-20, and PU jugs.

Totally worth it for only $0.80 more than PYB

second-to-last bullet:
Contains at least 50% synthetic base oil for added oxidation stability, improved volatility and low temperature properties

That's an excellent value. Thanks for the heads up.
