If you go to napaonline.com and search motor oil, you will get some (not all--poor website?) NAPA oils to come up. Click up a basic NAPA oil and then click on it's MSDS. Last time I did it a Valvoline All Climate MSDS came up. That's not to say they are the same. A MSDS is pretty broad and could cover several differing oils. Before SM oils came out you could look at Valvoline Synpower having the CF rating, but NAPA synthetic did not. THis was pointed out to me by a Valvoline tech line person who told me that the NAPA oils were NOT the same as Valvoline. Valvoline does bottle them and if you want info on NAPA oil you call Valvoline tech line (1-800-TEAM-VAL). Also the fact that Synpower's 50 weight is a 20w50 and NAPA's is a 15w50. Someone at the oil guy site (a knowledgable fellow) said the Synpower has a PAO component (apparently not present in the NAPA?).
