133 VI for a "full synthetic"?..if that's correct, does that mean there's little to no VII's? - Gokhan???

The moly and boron lvls look very similar to ST 5w30 FS, if my memory serves me right.

So, to the gurus, how does this compare to a Valvoline, Quaker State or Mobil 1 equivalent?
I use 5w30 for 3 1st gen TSXs, my 2001 Tundra V8 and 1998 Accord 4 banger.
I keep perhaps 5 jugs on hand...

Thanks in advance!

They're both Warren oils so that doesn't surprise me.
 
Actually, these numbers look FANTASTIC.
To me, they are quite comparable to most any name-brand 5W-30 DEXOS-rated oil.
I'm all in...

It's the Warren Distribution additive package I typically see.... And a very good one I might add.

Which illustrates the significance and importance of standards and approvals.

Yep, that's what I get too. 176 seems more like a Dexos, full syn 5w30. I normally see them from the high 160's ~180's so that 133 threw me for a loop. A grp3 starts at 120, so at 133 there wouldn't be much room for VII's in there I'd think. Unless it wasn't/isn't a grp3 but a low VI grp2..but boy, that'd sure [censored] a lot of people off I'd think.
 
What I have been saying for a year … that's a semi IMO … exactly what EHC and the other brands of GII+ target …
Make Dexos 1.2 for less … and exploit what you can call it. Even at 75/25 they make it cheaper in tonnage.

Some GII is hydro cracked … some GIII is hydro processed … Gonna be like herding cats on this site …
