API SN Synthetic Oil Availability

[Spyder7]

We have SN PYB and QS. We also have PU, Pennz HM, and PP all in the new style jugs. I haven't looked at them to confirm it, but I'm assuming their SN as well. The PYB I'm almost 2k into is SN.

Edit: realized you were referring to synthetic only after I posted the above.

Haven't seen any SN-rated synthetic oils at my local Kragen's nor Pep Boys...

Picked up 10 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum SN at Advance today.

I picked up 12 quarts, in the bronze bottle, of Pennzoil HM 05W-30 in API-SN at my Walmart today for $2.18 a quart using the Kmart sale advertisement. The normal Price at my Wally World is $4.36 a quart for the Pennzoil HM. Half Price for HM SN oil is nice.

I did notice that there is no GF-5 rating on any of the HM oils. I guess they must still have ZDDP, loads of Moly and Zinc in them to not get the rating.

Just looked at all the oils at my local Pep Boys.

The only API SN-rated motor oil was the new PYB advertised/labeled as "self-cleaning".

Other than that, no synthetic SN, PP and PU bottles were all API SM-rated.

Ultra was formulated to meet GF-5 when it was introduced, and Platinum was reformulated to meet GF-5 around the same time. I seriously doubt there will be any change to Ultra when it finally gets the SN/GF-5 donut.
