Curious as to how much Moly?
A recent VOA of the 0w20 Valvoline Extended Protection shows a tad over 300ppm. Not sure about the advanced you're asking about, but I bet it has some.

While we're on this subject, when and why did Valvoline FS (Advanced) 5w30 lose A5/B5 recommendation? I think it was a few years ago when it was still named SynPower that said it was recommended for A5/B5 use. Any reservations running this on manufacturer-specified interval that recommends A5/B5? According to the product info PDF, the HTHS is pretty good for 5W30 at 3.2. Does it shear down too fast?
Valvoline has made good oil since, whenever. Your car won't know the difference. As long as it's specd for your car, full synth, API certified, and doesn't burn, then use it. I use Pennzoil Platinum or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum for a GDI Kia, but if Supertech didn't burn and had a better NOACK, I'd use it.

It's good oil. Valvoline doesn't cause sludge like Pennzoil does.
Wait…what?

Someone went to bed in 1979 and hasn't really woken up yet.
Actually, it was '78 after shoveling my mother's 200' driveway. I was pretty tired.

I still won't use Pennzoil or Fram. My logical mind says that is ridiculous, the products are excellent today. However, this little guy keeps whispering in my ear that my 1969 Lemans V8 sludged up 
back in 1977. 
back in 1977. Did Valvoline drop the titanium when they upgraded to SP? I had no idea, thanks for the info.
