Same as Valvoline Synpower with a slightly weaker add-pack for cost reduction. Walmart has the five quart jugs of Penzoil Plainum and Quaker State Synthetics for around $18.99... around $3.98 a quart.
Triple se7en can you provide a definition of "weaker add-pack"? If this means a reduction in the additives found in Synpower could you provide a list of which additives are reduced and the percentage of reduction please? Thank you.
777,
I too would like to see evidence of the "reduced addpack" statement. As far as I can tell it is simple supposition. Ashland puts alot of money into testing their procuts and part of their way to recover such funds on the retail level is through brand recognition. Why would they reformulate and recertify a house brand label they produce when t heir supply line and ceritifications are the same. Technicaly to cut the additives they would have to run another set of certifications which is probalby mlore expensive than using already approved formulations that Ashland has on file.
To be honest I bet house brands are a very good value.

I guess we'll never know what's left out of the Synpower in order to qualify it as Carquest approved...

Most-all here would consider it as an invitation to purchase something else with brand name & stronger add-pack for roughly the same price.
same as Napa Synthetic and can be had for 3.00 bucks a quart.
even if it is weaker then Synpower not a bad price as long as the oci isn't to extreme.

i think its around 3 bucks anyway, its been awhile since i've been in Napa
Anyone know the current price of their full synthetic oil?
