Just think how popular you'd be if you did the first VOA?

I don't get this product. Maximum power? You might save a little on F/E over a 5w at start up but it's still a sae30 hot, albeit a thin 30 it sounds like...so maybe that's where the "maximum power" is derived - a low HTHS 30 grade??? Of course Pennzoils gonna argue it doesn't thicken/degrade/promote sludge...but doesn't they're PP/PUP lineup already make such claims?
Sorry, unless I'm missing something this lube has marketing gimmick written all over it. I'm predicting, like you, this will go the way of VME for very similar reasons.

I didn't get it either, and it appears to be a shelf space grabbing gimmick. But to be honest at $2/quart on a closeout I might just buy some. Especially if they're running a rebate at the time.

For sure, if it sees $2qt you can count me in!..at worst it's a relabeled PP/PUP... nothing wrong with that.

'Maximum Power' suggests 'low HTHS' plus considering that KV100 and VI

Very true

Yeah, that was my thought. I haven't bothered to search what, if anything, the TDS/PDS says about HTHS as this lube doesn't interest me unless I can get it on the cheap.

Twelve quarts?
What was the price?
It was a 6 quart case. I got it for free but retail price looks to be $60 with a $10 rebate currently going on. Seems rather pricey.
