Wondering what is the general consensus regarding NAPA 5W/20 and 5W/30 Full Synthetic motor oil? I see they have it on sale during the month of Oct.
NAPA Synthetic

I'm using it in my Jeep right now. It is rebranded Valvoline Synpower with a slightly weaker add pack. IMO it's great stuff but then again I've been a Valvoline man since I came out of the womb.
I purchased 5 cases back when they had a sale of 3.29 a quart...
Man at 2.99 a quart I might have to buy some more.....
Good Valvoline oil with a slightly weaker add pack as mentioned. Will hold up just as good as Synpower but just not for as long.
Use with confidence!
Use with confidence!
Good to know. May have to buy some when the rebates stop coming in form other companies
How does this compare to Castrol synthetic blend 5w30?

That's what I thought.
How well do you think this NAPA syn will do with a 7500 mile OCI in a turbocharged engine?

Depends on the tubrocharged engine I suppose. I would personally be doing 5000 miles OCI's,

I'd bet the Syntec would run longer.

I'm running it right now in the 3.8 n/a engine in my Buick. The stuff looks almost clear on the dipstick (of course it only has 220 miles on it right now!).
My plan is to run 7 months, ~6300 miles, until next April, but if I do any road trip stuff over Christmas, I might hit 7000.

You're putting money on a dino/syn blend over a full syn? Not just any Full syn. either but a Valvoline syn? Yeah....no.
