Valvoline synpower is not synthetic, M1 5w-30 is not synthetic. You have to import a Euro oil to get a real syn these days. Does it matter? Yes because they are charging you a high price for something that doesnt cost the oil co's much premium to blend over a "plain jane" conventional. You are not getting what you paid for. It's a freaking joke, and its on you.

What about Wolf's Head 100% SYN 5W30? I just ordered me a case of it, along with a case of their SD 5W30 for a friend.
The Wolf's Head 100% SYN 5W30 mentioned a synthetic base stock...I believe both the SYN and the HD 5W30s are ACEA A5/B5 rated, unless I read that wrong. I've been well pleased w/ the PP, the M1 0W30 seems good - nice & quiet like the PP at least - but I thought it was time for a change & wanted to be different.
Almost decided to go with Amalie oil because I know it's
"Better than it has to be" ...but I finally decided upon the Wolf's Head because it's
"The finest of the fine since 1879"
