Valvoline syn vs. Mobil 1 syn?

In the average range of use for most folks, I doubt you would see much difference. Start to approach the extremes in heat, RPMs, temperature, etc. and you will probably start to see deviation (to what extent I don't know enough to say with these two specific oils).
Really depends on the use, in my opinion, but I prefer to go "overkill" with my oil versus settling for another that I don't think will make much of a difference.
I'm sure some others with technical info will chime in soon.

I`v never tried Synpower but have come very close to buying it.
Pretty much the same thing for performance.

When it comes to 5W-20's, 5w30's or 10w30's, I will take the Valvoline over the regular Mobil 1 any day.

Ok. I'll buy that, as a preference of yours. Maybe it's "better", maybe it's not. The longer I spend on bitog, and the more I see, I realize it's never that cut and dried. People's opinions are, but not the facts. But even if for some reason this is an exception to that rule, ok, I think all that "2x, 4x and 16x" better stuff in that quote was absolutely ridiculous.
Look at all the folks going 300-400k on dino oil, etc. And Mobil 1 for that matter, pick a brand, there are stories out there about high mileage. I don't hate any particular oil, the more I read on here, they are all not that much different from each other, especially for a street car or truck. So all this 16x better stuff is a bit humorous to me

Always been a Mobil fan and will continue to be as long as Mail in Rebates are not involved. Not to say Valvoline doesn't make a great oil cause they do.
SM/GF4? - All junk!

The cert wear sequence allows the cam to be worn out - completely shot at 4mils. Anything over a couple tenths wear should be alarming. And to add insult, it allows averaging. Ridiculous!

He just hates M1. You will notice that theme with a few posters. There are also a number that abhor Royal Purple.

Rise Ashland people,RISE!!!
Oh, a new word for us (or at least me) "abhor". I like it. That's the way I feel about Valvoline and Castrol, "abhor".

Even though the last time I used a Valvoline oil many of you guys weren't born. I have no critisem of their product. However I have used M1 oils for 31 years and find them to be outstanding in every engine I have put it in.
