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

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

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.
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.
