Hey guys,
I am big fan of M1 5W30 ESP. However, I have to order it online and price is $109 for 12ltrs.
Few days ago I was in NAPA buying DEF, and saw Valvoline 5W40 MST on sale. It meets all necessary specs. like BMW LL-04, MB 229.51, Porsche A40, VW 502.00/505.01. It is $4.99 per quart on sale. I was thinking to buy 20-30 bottles (I change oil every 5K and since I got BMW in the end of last October I put 17K, so would go through it pretty fast.
Anyone has any experience with this oil? Valvoline claims it is synthetic based and number are not bad at all: HTHS 3.7cp, cst 13.1, NOACK 10%. Valvoline is pretty transparent with their info, which is refreshing.
Here is the link:
Valvoline 5W40 MST PDS
So your take/experience?
