Anyone has used Valvoline oils?

I´m been offered SynPower 5w40 100% synthetic from Valvoline for the cost, I mean, directly from vendor, anyone has any experience using any Valvoline oil?
For a BMW 525i E34 1994 with 130000 miles (doesn´t burn oil between changes of 10000 km)

Valvoline oil and lube products are good.

Valvoline is up there as one of the best on an international scale, one of my favorites. They give you more info than what Mobil does.

Thank you both guys.

I've been using MaxLife Full Synthetic for the last 100k miles in my Mercury Mystique V6. The used oil analysis come back excellent.

Check the recent excellent used oil analysis for Synpower in the used oil analysis section.

I just ordered that in the *MST* (Euro) formulation..basically the same thing. Looks like a winner to me! I plan on mixing that with Valvoline MaxLife Full Synthetic 10w30 (Valvoline as well) for a special *cocktail*

. I have a Supercharged Camry V6 (TRD) with 108K mi and reside in So Cal...so *COLD* really isn't in the equation.

Finally, I used Motul 8100 Xcess 5w40 full synthetic oil, being BMW LL98 and my engine being made in 1994 I thought it was a better idea than BMW LL04.
Great so far, less noisy than Magnatec 10w40 and oil pressure light turns off faster.
