Valvoline 5w30 Extended Protection

That doesn't mean 1978 M1 would pass the same testing that SP GF6A M1 EP passes today.

Regardless neither M1 AP or EP is likely to be overmatched by an 8 mo 3,000 mi oci.

1978 vehicles or oil are no match for today's technology. But the quality of ingredients sure seem similar between the 70s/80s Mobil-1 and EP of today.
I never mentioned the AP of 10 or-so years ago. Talk about a short-lived item. Seemed to just sit on store shelves until it was clearanced-out a year or two later.

You were gonna run Mobil EP for 2500-3000 miles…? That’s like using an rpg to kill a fly

But they were Chernobyl flies!

I was going through MSDS one night (the things we do for fun). I know they can change often.

However, I noticed the MaxLife version of Valvoline Extended Protection was almost entirely GTL. Interesting!

Valvoline EP would be one of my first picks or Pennzoil ultra platinum at wall mart,,great oils for the price, watch for possible rebates over the holiday season.

Hi everyone,

I am a loyal follower of Mobil 1 5w30 EP oil. I use it in everything. Well unfortunately on my latest trip to Walmart, the Mobil 1 was sold out.

I had to buy this Valvoline product as a substitute. Is it a decent oil? Is it on par with the Mobil 1 product? I assume it’s not as good as the Mobil EP, but hopefully it’s at least close in quality.

Thank you!

It’s right up there with the Mobil 1 and will not fail you.

How much PAO does it have?

I'm gomna need to see the MSDS before I use with confidence

0%

 

[ndarkside93]

Yeah right. It’s not even SP rated.

It’s not so rated because it’s a euro oil aimed at cars that don’t use API ratings. Based on its spec approvals it would easily pass SP testing
