I'm not disputing that Kirkland will be totally fine in your usage, but there's no way it contains PAO. PAO is expensive to where even Mobil now purchases GTL from Shell cheaper than they can produce PAO themselves, for use in products like Mobil 1 EP. Kirkland/Supertech made to meet the lowest price-point possible for the high-pressure buyers of Walmart definitely does not contain PAO.Project farm did testing, Kirkland oil was great. Same as Mobil 1 if I recall especially If you change it every 5000 miles/ lower interval. I do plan to change it every 5k miles. It's a PAO 3 oil if I remember correctly. Will have to check!
Let me do research. My wording is incorrect I imagine so I apologize. Did a lot of research to try to understand differences between conventional and synthetic. The grading of oil I'm looking for is why people say an oil like the regular 0w20 Mobil one is not "actually" a full synthetic. Let me get back to you with the correct name.I'm not disputing that Kirkland will be totally fine in your usage, but there's no way it contains PAO.
