Store brand synthetic oils - which is best?

Mobil 1 ESP? Mobil 1?

Your 5 qt. jugs of Mobil 1 ESP at Walmart seem to always be priced great. The ESP has the EURO ratings, a great oil. There is not much difference in the price between the generic brands and the Mobil 1 ESP 5 qt jugs. The small difference in price is worth the upgrade in my opinion. I would personally use the Mobil 1 0W-30 ESP. It has more PAO in it than the 5W-30 ESP.

I don’t believe that it has any more PAO in it, but the 0w-30 has esters in its base and the 5w-30 does not.

Napa branded oil is produced by Valvoline. Therefore, it's the best out of those listed in the op.

Napa is fantastic oil, motor oil geek did some testing with it and it did really well. Also, Kirkland/supertech has proven time and time again to be able to hang with higher priced oils and you can get it at a bargain price

why not just get Valvoline advanced oil?, they have rebates occasionally as they formulate the Napa oil.
