They have WalMarts in Afghanistan?

Went to a local wal-mart today and it was $22.50, $.50 more than M1. I might have to switch to M1 if the price doesn't change!

just use the supertech syn or the QS syn. Don't pay more for similar performance than you need to.

I like the low NOACK% of the Synpower.

NOACk is just a number. Focusing on any number when comparing oils that meet the same specs is counterproductive. HTHS, Tbn, ADD PACK NUMBERS, noack, flash , viscosities.. they are all minor parts of the oil, what Specs does it meet? The specs cover the parameters for all these numbers so you don't have to interpret them.

I was at another Walmart tonight. All 3 local ones have different prices for Synpower. One is $25.50, one $22.50 and the other $21.

Just another reason for me not to use Valvoline oil.

The NOACK of 8% for their 10W-30 Synpower is indeed good for a GP III oil. Their synthetic MaxLife has a NOACK of 7

Their detergent pack and anti wear pack is good also. Their anti wear pack pushes the envelope for GF-4. I wish they made a SM, NON ILSAC, 10W-40 or 15W-40. Their 5W-40 MST and 5W-50 HST are as close as they come.

Advance has deals on valvoline $24.99 5 qts. plus a pure one filter syn. oil.Advance prices always better than Shelp Boys.

My AAP ad calls for "5qts. Synpower and a FRAM TG filt. for $24.99"

Sorry, not the deal for me!

True, I just prefered the 5 Qts. of GC 0w-30 and K&N filter for $25

I have often thought of using Valvoline, many friends and family use it, many dealerships and garages in the area use it, however I always wonder if I would just be paying to support an advertising budget, you have to admit they have great advertising.
