Which Valvoline is Closest to M1 EP 5W-30?

[Gene K]

Curious about which Valvoline oil is the closest to M1 EP 5W-30 both in formulation and ability to do extended drain intervals. I'm not very familiar with the different Valvoline offerings for PCMOs. Thanks for any help.

Valvoline Extended Performance 0W-20
D4739 (Soft TBN) = 6.10 (Blackstone)

That's the lowest starting TBN of any name brand I've seen. While starting TBN is not the whole story I would not expect it to be competitive with a name brand 20K Oil.
