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...

I'm all in...
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 …
