Valvoline SynPower Full Synthetic Motor Oil - Meets the Demands
of Today's Tough Driving Conditions
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SynPower Full Synthetic delivers superior engine protection by
fighting the three major causes of engine stress: heat, deposits
and wear. That's because SynPower is the only leading full
synthetic formulated with more durable anti-wear additives that
stay in the oil longer.
Premium chemistry and full synthetic base oils help SynPower
deliver the ultimate protection against:
• Heat - SynPower is formulated with full synthetic base oil and
premium chemistry that stands-up to extreme temperatures.
SynPower flows when the engine is cool, and maintains its
protection barrier as engine temperatures rise.
• Deposits - SynPower has extra detergents and dispersants to
help prevent harmful build-up of sludge, varnish and other
deposits in your engine.
• Wear - With all the concern about lower zinc in motor oil,
SynPower responded with advanced, more durable anti-wear
additives that stay in the oil longer for outstanding protection
against friction and wear.
SynPower meets the performance requirements of most naturally
aspirated, turbocharged and supercharged cars operating in North
America.

Frequently Asked Questions About Valvoline's SynPower
-----------------------------------------------------
How does SynPower compare to Mobil1 and Amsoil?
Valvoline's SynPower motor oils meet and exceed the same
specifications as these two products. SynPower motor oils are
high performing, high-quality oils formulated with full synthetic
base oils and top tier additives to provide an increased level of
performance. All of Valvoline's SynPower motor oils are API
licensed to ensure quality for North American vehicle
application. We have specially designed SynPower 5w40 for
application in high performance European or diesel passenger cars
and this oil carries the specific OEM approvals such as Mercedes
Benz, Volkswagen, Porsche and BMW. Our North American SynPower
5w20, 5w30 and 10w30 exceed ILSAC GF-4 requirements and carry the
API starburst on the front label. SynPower is designed with extra
levels of detergent and antioxidant to provide outstanding
deposit and heat protection.
Why are synthetic oils more expensive? Are they worth the extra
cost?
Synthetic oils are superior to conventional oils because they
help maximize horsepower, improve mileage and provide a
smoother, cooler operation for the engine, prolonging engine
life. Many vehicle owners feel that the benefits of using a
synthetic motor oil are worth the extra cost.
How does Valvoline's SynPower formula protect against wear?
SynPower full synthetic motor oil is formulated with a balance
of high quality ingredients such as detergents, dispersants,
antioxidants, friction modifiers, anti-wear additives and premium
base oils that work together to provide exceptional protection
against engine stress and wear.
Valvoline's proprietary formulation includes special anti-wear
chemistry. Valvoline's low impact ZDDP allows phosphorus in the
anti-wear additive to stay in the oil longer than other leading
synthetic motor oils. Phosphorous bonds to metal parts in the
engine to form a "sacrificial" layer that helps protect against
friction and metal wear in the engine.
SynPower also uses premium detergents and dispersants that
protect against deposits and sludge to keep engines clean.
SynPower's premium full synthetic base oils and additives hold up
to extreme temperatures to provide increased protection for your
engine.
Does using synthetic oil create more sludge?
No. Synthetic oils do not increase the chance of sludge.
Valvoline motor oils are 100% anti-sludge guaranteed.

Does using synthetic oil damage engine seals?
No. Synthetic oils are perfectly safe for all rubber seals.
I heard that synthetic oil is too thin for use in an older car
and creates blow-by and burn-off. Is this true?
This is only true if the blow-by problem exists prior to using a
synthetic oil. If you have a leaking or blow-by problem,
synthetic oils can make the issue worse, but they do not cause it
to happen.
Do I need to use a different type of oil filter with synthetic
oil?
No. You can use any type of oil filter with a synthetic oil.
Are there certain types of vehicles that should not use
synthetic motor oil (e.g., Mazda's)?
Yes, there are certain engines (e.g., rotary engines) in which
synthetic oils should not be used. Refer to your owner's manual
for the appropriate motor oil recommendation.
Are there any mileage advantages to using synthetic oil?
Absolutely. Synthetic oils use higher quality friction modifiers
to make the oil more slippery and stronger than conventional
oils. This allows the engine to run easier and smoother,
increasing mileage.
What group of base oils is used in the formulation of SynPower?
Valvoline uses a mixture of Group III and Group IV basestocks.
Does SynPower use polyalphaolefin (PAO) base stocks?
Yes. Valvoline uses a mixture of Group III and Group IV
basestocks.
Does SynPower protect engine seals or do I have to buy a
higher-mileage motor oil to get that protection?
SynPower does protect engine seals but in order to recondition
older engine seals, high mileage oils are recommended.

No. Valvoline SynPower oils are not approved for use with a wet
clutch.
Is SynPower compatible with other brands of synthetic motor oil
or do I need to flush if I'm sw brands?
Valvoline SynPower is compatible with other synthetic oils.
