Unless it is some old stock, Ace Hardware branded oil is API SN or SN Plus:

Pfft.. it's API SN @ $4.99..i would clean them out.
Relative to a 0w20 and a 5w30, a 5w20 uses little VM's or make up (base) oil to hit the target grade. It's good stuff (much like a 10w30 is), on paper at least.
That jug looks like the ones used by Warren/unilube. They offer brands such as coastal, lubrigold, lubrigard and Warren motor oil. They are a big player in private label blending/bottling, just like Warren distribution and Amalie.
Nice find. Ive never been disappointed with anything ive ever purchased at Ace, [censored] my house is held together, wired and plummed by Ace products...
