Walmart order… Valvoline Euro 5w-40 SN vs SP

[edyvw]

I thought he said he needed W 502 00/505 00? And then he mentions a BMW approval… and then worried about an API license….

I’m confused.

And what car is this?

So you’re returning one oil with VW 502 00 approval for another one with VW 502 00 approval.

Yup I am! I paid for SP I'm getting SP. Might not matter to you but it matters to me

That would have to be it.

Doesn't matter because R&P is required according to the latest group think

Your car requires 502/505 not SP, I'd keep it and gladly run it, will make Zero difference if it is SP. You do you but sounds like your mind was made up already at your 1st post.

Well, you supposed to be clear you want least demanding specification listed there.

The latest SP Valvoline Euro is least demanding than their SN version? SP covers SN so?

Absolutely irrelevant in his application, and all those approvals are far more stringent than API SP, SN+, SN, or whatever.
API SP or SN are the least stringent specifications on that list.
