Who makes NAPA full synthetic oil?

[40ford]

I was in the local NAPA store and they had their house brand synthetic oil on sale all weights for $3.39 per qt. Who makes it?

Also High Mileage oil for $2.39.

valvoline makes it... thats the story they all stick with.

Valvoline base oil - slightly weaker add-pack than Valvoline Synpower.

I suppose technically its Ashland that makes both Valvoline and NAPA oils.

2x on what TallPaul said.

I would guess, though I don't know, that because it's a little less costly than the Valv Synpower, it's got less add pack. But then again, it's probably still a good overall oil package.

Would it be fair to say a good value for your $? Probably so. Especially if you can get it for $3.39 a quart!

From my studies, Ashland is most likely using S-Oil (Korean GrpIII) primarily and may add some SynFluid PAO (ChevronPhillips) in some weights. Ashland markets blending services, offers these bases and some off-the-shelf additives.

This appears to be the same approach the take for Valvoline SynPower.
