Valvoline Premium Blue Synthetic: Anyone using it?

Saw this for the first time today at out San Diego Cummins shop for $21. Is it good stuff? I've been using Royal Purple and Schaeffers full synthetic. Hard to find locally though.

EDIT: Oops, I may have put this in the wrong froum. If so, sorry!

It is good stuff... run it with no worries. I prefer the Schaeffers myself, but you are right... it is hard to come by depending on where you live.

Been running it for 60K miles no problem. Of course that is not a long time in one of these trucks and I have never taken it apart to see the internals.

After the first few oil changes, I started using it and change it every 15,000 miles with no problems. In another 2,000 miles, I'll send in a sample for analysis again. Seems to have excellent suspension properties.

Is this the Premium Blue Extreme? One of my buddies runs it and loves it.

The Extreme oil is conventional. Valvoline Premium Blue is synthetic.
