Best Readily Available 5W30 Synthetic for GDI Engines ?

[ARCOgraphite]

10w30 QSFS NOT the 5w. VM are not oil. Hello Deposits. Hello thin base oil.

"But Ohh!, I got to follow the OM!"

Well the OM is out the window here.

Use what you KNOW about the basics of motor oil.

JEEPERS!

If they meet the same specs and cover the requirements of your engine, they will perform statistically similarly. Both are made by solid companies… pick one and worry not. 👍🏻

Autozone and Advance Auto Parts now carries M1 5w30 and 0w30 ESP in 5 quart jugs for around $35, and if you’re a veteran don’t forget to have them apply their 10% discount.

Pennzoil 5W30 Euro L 5 qrt. jug for $26 at WM - would you rather have this or the M1 5W30 ESP for $11 more at Advance Auto ?

I'd be sticking with Quaker State Full Synthetic 5W-30 $22.76 at Walmart that is the regular price not a sale price!
