I would have no issue using NAPA (Ashland) oil in my vehicles. None.
Valvoline even has Warranty coverage for NAPA oil...

VALVOLINE LIMITED LUBRICANTS WARRANTY
Ashland Consumer Markets (“Valvoline”) warrants all private-label NAPA lubricants
manufactured by Valvoline against failure in engine or equipment service so long as:
• The NAPA lubricant meets the manufacturer’s specifications for the service, or has
been specifically recommended for that service by NAPA.
• The engine or equipment is operated within the limits of speed, load, temperature, etc.
for which the NAPA lubricant is specified or recommended.
• The engine or equipment and vehicle are under a program of regular, scheduled and
documented maintenance and test protocols (if required) fulfilling the manufacturer’s
service recommendations.
If NAPA lubricant is proven to be directly responsible for engine or equipment failure under
these conditions, Valvoline will restore the equipment to normal performance.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties and Valvoline hereby disclaims all liabilities for
indirect or consequential damages. Some states may not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so that exclusion/limitation may not apply to you.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights that vary from
state to state. Valvoline reserves the right to inspect the damaged engine or equipment, take
samples, run tests, and examine all related documentation it deems necessary to determine cause
of failure.
To notify Valvoline of a warranty claim, contact Valvoline Product Support at 1-800-
TEAMVAL (1-800-832-6825).
