I have been using this product (used to be called Super-HPO) in a 1954 Chevrolet engine since 1986. Since it's made for diesel engines it still has some of the zinc and phosphorus that flat tappet engines need for wear protection. Oils made for modern gas engines have had most of these two elements removed since they foul up catalytic converters. My engine, in a 1946 Chevy truck, has covered about 60,000 miles with no problems using this oil. Amazon's price is a bargain as well.

Oil is a great deal. Use it in my lawn equipment with no issue. Would buy 10 more cases if I could afford it. I would jump on this deal is you can afford. Not sure about use in regular gas cars or trucks though.
Best Deals for Valvoline (VV396-6PK) All-Fleet Plus SAE 30 Motor Oil - 1 Quart
The STAR RATING is misleading; the product itself is a 5 Star but the Selling Practices is a 1 star. So I am giving it 3 stars.
I bought this Case of SAE Oil for 23.79 (1.98/qt) back in January 2013. I bought it for its ZDDP content 1260ppm and SF rating for my older gas cars. It is a fantastic oil to keep for an older gas car and the diesel detergents keeps the engine nice and clean. Its 40C viscosity 87cSt is better than the 15W40 (117cSt) and just slightly worse than the 10W30 (80Cst) which is great for my 85F year round temperatures. Now I come back to buy another case and the price is at $55.99 (4.67) This is more than double the price as originally offered. Clearly it was fine to offer this product at a low price when the demand was low and now that it has gone up, they think its ok to more than double the price. Well guess what, I wont be buying anymore at that price of 55.99.
Honest reviews on Valvoline (VV396-6PK) All-Fleet Plus SAE 30 Motor Oil - 1 Quart
The oil is fine. My problem is when I went to order it a second time, the price had more than doubled. Could the first price have been a mistake? I paid $2.04 / Qt when I bought my first case. !! Now it is over $4.00 / Qt.

the ad dances around with words BUT this oil is partially recycled oil....which does give me pause to use in a 30,000 car engine.
they, i think, should be right up front with FULL disclosure in the description.
when i read the actual label when mine arrived, i have asked to return it.
if i had a junk engine, or something less expensive i 'might' run this oil.
i would also think that if something did go wrong with an engine, the dealership would take a dim view and perhaps not honor any warranty. again, great pause for concern.
will valvoline then stand by an engine failure due to their oil...can you imagine the fight to get resolution?
