Valvoline SynPower runs smoother and quieter than Mobil 1 in my '97 Camry V6 (jjbula has posted good UOAs), but I recently learned this "Full Synthetic Motor Oil" is highly refined petroleum oil (Group III). I was angry with Valvoline for lying, but such claims can legally be made by US advertisers - just not by chemists or ethicists.
I'm no chemist, but the MSDS on the Valvoline website looks suspiciously incomplete. For those of you who have seen the full MSDS, does Valvoline SynPower contain even the smallest amounts of PAOs or esters?
Thanks,
