I liked using it and I'm sure I will use it again after my clearance stash is used.

All these new Valvoline formulas rock.
Only thing that surprised me was the lower # Viscosity @ 100°C. Once upon a time, HMs were higher #. Not so much anymore with SN Plus.

This could probably have been a 0w20 oil right? The -30°C cold crank viscocity is 5149 mPa*s where the limit is 6600 or 6200 at -35°C for a 0W oil. I have seen this with other oil brands, wonder why they called it 5W when it possible could have passed the 0W test. Anyone know why? I have bought Ravenol RUP 5W40, the -30°C cold crank viscocity on this is 4510 mPa*s so i guess this could have been a 0W to, do they just want to sell/call it as a 5W even if it really is a 0W? I didn`t thought there was any downsides to be a 0W vs a 5W?

Can answer my self here, it would not pass the 0W test
