Sample taken from 5 qt. jug with code I1318F5 (mfg. date 9-13-18 correct?) recently purchased from Walmart.com during their $17.47 each sale on June 2.
I am currently using this oil in my Infiniti M45.
COMMENTS: AARON: There's nothing unexpected in this virgin sample of Valvoline Advanced 0W/40. The viscosity is in
the expected range and there is no moisture or insoluble material. The additives are standard for gasoline
or diesel engine oil. As long as this oil meets the particular engine manufacturer requirements, it should
work just fine.
