Valvoline 10W-40 (API SL)

Thats why its overpriced. It not does not hold up as well as those other brands. Besides its not GM 6094M approved.

What is the 6094M approval?

I'm not sure exactly what the 6094M approval represents but, a quick look on the Valvoline web site shows that All-Climate does in fact have the GM 6094M approval in both 5W30 and 10W30 grades.
dave1251,
Can you support the statement that All-Climate doesn't hold up as well as other brands?

dav1251,
Valvoline does not hold up as well as the others in terms of how long it will last? Does it not perform just as well within a short 3-4k OCI?

Isn't 6094M a cold-pumping requirement GM wants an oil to have...? Does anyone know the exact CCS number that meets this standard?

That's funny. Trop Artic/MC/Conoco family of 10w-30 synthetic blends have a low temp pumping number of around 11,000 Cp at -30C.
