Why is PYB 5w-30 the only PYB SN at WM?

My guess would be because it's the best seller so it has the newest stock.
the wal mart in my town still has plenty of SM in several different "flavors"

Biggest seller would get the first updates? Pennzoil Yellow bottle 5w-30 is easy the biggest seller for them (Wal-Mart and I think Pennzoil (Johnny?))

PYB IS fine for most people. They dont put the 20W-50 up but its still good.

I think Johnny said 10w-30 was the best seller

how many wm shoppers actually want/need SN? If it truly is more expensive to make, it may be a smart move to delay as long as possible in the interest of gaining the price point shoppers who are looking for the lowest priced name brand...
i've stocked up on SM - was that a mistake? you can get 5 l jugs of Valvoline SM for 11.30 at Walmart including the tax, in Canada.

SM was $14 a 5 qt jug and now its $10-$12 depending on which Wal-Mart I go to. No price increase YET...
Take care, Bill

I believe that's the latest mix of PYB, but that's what the bottles said after the new formula was released but before SN rated oil went into effect on Oct 1st.

Incorrect. My model was Toyota's first 1ZZ-FE to have VVT-i. It is API SL rated. The newer specs didn't exist when the car was produced in 2000.

I bought some PYB 5W-20 this week at Walmart, and indeed, only the 5W-30 jugs are SN. All SM viscosity grades show "already meets and exceeds GF-5 specifications...", but the only SN so far is the 5W-30.

YB is still $12/jug at mine. Although the HMV went from $14 to $16.50 and the Platinum went from $20.50 to $23.50, the YB is still the same price.
