Never really considered Valvoline before, really inexpsive too at Walmart for $23 for 5 quarts.
I've been pondering what oil I was going to use on my 144k mile 2008 2.8L V6 turbo Saab 9-3 Aero. I have a mild but consistent oil seep by the belts and so was considering switching from the M1 0w40 to something else. Since the reformulation, not impressed by the tendency of M1 0w40 to shear down quickly. Especially in high heat engines. So I was looking at M1 5w40 TDT or M1 10w40 High Mileage but the specs aren't super impressive besides detergents.
Anyway, the NOACK on the 10w30 is 6.3% which you don't really find until you get to boutique oils like Redline. This seems to indicate its got a great base oil to start out from. HTHS seems to be 3.6 which is impressive a 10w30 (info is from 2005 though). Seems like a really solid oil for a really good price.
