Valvoline Syn-power
I'm going to change out my Mobil One with Valvoline Syn-power when the Vette goes into winter hibernation.
Anybody try this oil, or hear anything good or bad about it?

I've noticed the Mobil 1 and Castrol SynTec are evenly priced at Wally World now. The Castrol used to be about $5.00 cheaper.

FWIW, I have been using Valvoline synthetic in my 88 for a few years. I am in the Northeast so I change the oil in November, and the car sits 'til April. I autocross the car every weekend so it's not babied. The oil still looks good at the end of the year too.
