PYB 5w-20 a syn-blend or not?

Try it. It is a high quality oil. If it had any "syn" in it it would be marketed as a blend IMO. Good quality GrpII/II+
I havn't found a 5W-20 I didn't like. There's less of them on the market, and I'm yet to see one that didn't meet API cert.

I agree! If PYB was a syn/blend, SOPUS would have marketed it a such, the way Motorcraft has marketed their oil(5W20/5W30) as a syn/blend.
PYB is a good Group II/II+ motor oil(I don't really know what II+ is) held in high regard here at BOB's as well as other sites on the web and also, PYB has a good additive package that contributes to it being a good oil. Use it with confidence!
Even if PYB did have in it some Group III(just a smidgen), they're not saying so as not to infringe on their own syn/blend oil sales...Does Pennzoil even have a syn/blend oil on the market? I know that they once did and I have seen a HM oil! And we all know about PP and PU!
Anyway!...

PYB is made using a Group II+ base stock. They do make a blend called Pennzoil Gold.

But very hard to find.

Another one of their excellent marketing jobs.

Yep...I've never seen it here, much like their Euro 5W-40
To bad Pennzoil makes some of their product hard to find, as it is good stuff, but if I have to jump through hoops to get it, forget it!

I've heard to manufacturer a 5W-20 oil, there's gotta be at least "some" synthetic in the mix.
Due to the way base-stock/crude comes or something.
So sure, they aren't marketing it as a "blend" but it could possibly be. But granted, there are a bunch of great UOAs with it in use...

I would think so as well but it would seem that isn't the case. Valvoline recently removed the synthetic blend labeling from the Maxlife bottle but confirmed it is still a blend.
I actually called SOPUS about their HM and they confirmed that the HM and PYB are not blends.

I don't know if it's a legal issues or a gentleman's agreement, but the syn blends have to be, I believe, between 15-30% synthetic in order to be marketed that way. If you check the MSDS the blends are all this way. But like I said, I'm not sure why this is the case.

I thought all 20s were at least a synth blend.
If not, it is a technical paperwork issue.
