Specifically formulated for use in modern gas-direct engines (GDI) and turbo gas-direct engines (TGDI) as well as older carbureted or normally fuel injected gasoline engine designs. FRAM Engine Oil SAE 5W-30 contains additive technology designed to prevent low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) while also providing increased wear protection, oxidation and shear stability over previous oil categories. FRAM Engine Oil SAE 5W-30 meets the requirements for API SP, SN Plus, SN, SM and ILSAC GF-6A, GF-5 and earlier API and ILSAC Service Categories.

Product Features:

• ALWAYS REFER TO YOUR VEHICLES OPERATING MANUAL TO SELECT THE CORRECT GRADE

Safe to say it’s a syn-blend

It’s a blend….

Fram black bottle 5w30 is a synblend but 10w30 is conventional based on the description on Advance Auto's website.

I’m not going to play the conventional vs synblend game. Here is Quaker State 10W30 that is SP.

Enjoy.

Here is a Walmart 5w30 that says “Conventional but is SP. It’s all up to the marketing departments.

Some brands are not calling it either, if it's not their synthetic they just call it motor oil.

Wouldn't surprise me if today, after all the materials sourcing, logistics transport and refining and etc is accounted for, for the end product to be less expensive to make if "synthetic." The price differences may be purely marketing strategy.

Any SP 5W-30 or 5W-20 oil is a blend; you cannot meet spec without it. I think 10W-30 can.

Its getting to the point its primarily semantics.

This looks like great oil. I’d use it SO HARD in my vehicle
