0W20 Syn or not

[farmalla]

I'm new to this site,don't know if this has been discussed or not.Am I wrong in saying that 0W20 is only available in blend or full synthetic.I know it is more available now at walmart in 5qt jugs.They now carry M1,Valvoline,and Pennzoil in full syn.

0W-30 and 0W-20 especially are full synthetic. A conventional base stock oil just can't reach the cold temperature flow and viscosity required for a 0W rating. I bought the Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 for my focus the other day, but any would be good.

There are 0w30 synthetic blends, but for the most part they're all synthetic. I have yet to see a fully conventional 0W-20/30.

Honda and maxlife are the only two non Full Synthetic 0w20 I can think of.

I was not aware that Maxlife came in 0w20.

Signature Series 0W20 Amsoil is great stuff. Obviously 100% Synthetic

It's listed on the PDS, so one would think it should be available for purchase soon.

Only 0W-20 actually listed on Valvoline's website is Synpower.

Then again, Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w20 still doesn't exist according to XOM, even though it's on the shelf at Walmart.
