My local Walmart has older looking 5w-20 on clearnace for $9 a 5q jug. What is the difference between this and the newer orange looking jugs? I would like to use it in a Honda 2.4 without any problems. TIA
 
Without seeing the jugs, the older is likely SM as opposed to newer jug SN.

$9 MCSyn Blend in Honda 2.4L, no worries. Get it while you can.
 
There is an endcap full of it. I shall head over on lunch and get a few.
After my recent Valvoline change has run its course, I am going to switch to my Supertech I picked up until spring, then the MC for the summer.

SN latest spec, also coincided with MC Syn Blend 5w20 going from $12 to $14 a jug a while back at Wally. $9 is a great price. Hard to imagine it's that slow a mover that it was put on clearance. Not around here.
 
Does SN mean its more fuel efficient than the SM? i have a hard time keeping up with all the changes.

They look dusty like they have been in back sitting around so perhaps it's just that they are cleaning the back warehouse, who knows. I'll be sure to open the caps and check the foil beforehand too.
