I've been looking at the 0w40 Valvoline advanced full synthetic, formally synpower. How does it compare to the mobile fs 0w40. Looks like as of the 5-31-18 Valvoline updated the PI sheet. I've been looking for a replacement for the older version Mobil 0w40 as it had a higher hths and seemed more robust, but I can't find any old stock anymore. I guess I'm trying to see how close the new Valvoline advanced full synthetic 0w40 is to the old Mobil 0w40.
I'm sure someone is going to want to know application ,my only requirement is a 0w40 that meets or exceeds API sm. The factory fill oil isn't very informative other than a pour point of -45c and it's blended by lubrication technologies and that's all the information I've ever found.. And I know it sheras rather quickly in about 1000 miles per a uoa on another fourm. The motor is 1200cc 3 cylinder rotax, operating in cold winter climates ranging from -30f to +32f and at high rpms for long periods of time, 8700 rpms max and typically no lower than 6000rpm unless at idle. I had been running the older version of Mobil 0w40 after draining the factory fill after the first 1000 miles and it has worked well but like I said it's not easily found
