Looks like a very robust oil for $11/5-quart jug at Walmart. Nice to see them use Antimony and a good dose of Molybdenum in such a low end oil. I expect the 5w-20 version to be just as robust, if not even more. Seems like I've found the next elixir for the TL, and the best bang for your buck, most robust synthetic blend oil for around $2/quart.
