Not quite sure what to recommend, as I have yet to receive my instructions from the "secret society."

Both are quality oils. If they are the same price, I'd opt for PP based on my experience (used in my Saturn for 1.5 yr) and favorable reviews at BITOG. Otherwise go for what is cheaper.
Right now SynPower is $.99 after rebate... fyi.

Maybe this will help you decide... http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1141406#Post1141406I just picked up 5 qts of PP 5w20 + filter for my Corolla. My dad has Synpower and he says his 06 Camry is getting ~100 miles more on a full tank than he used to. Claims even when his car was new he can only get 400 miles out of a full tank.

Which ever is on sale. I personely think that PP is a better or more inovative product but either will work. I have a garage floor full of PP because of BOGO sales at AAP but last time I was their Valvoline Synpower was Bogo so I bought that. I need to buy oil like a fat man needs cookies but hey a good deal is a good deal!

I've been using Valvoline SynPower 10W-30 in my 94 Toyota T-100 V-6 for about 100K (present mileage is 238k)with zero problems. My dad used Valvoline oil for years with no lubrication problems. In my opinion Valvoline makes an excellent oil. I have no experience with Pennzoil.
