Default URGENT: Union 76 Synthetic Oil in a Pinch??

I've got a lapping event tomorrow and desperately need an oil change. Unfortunately, I've been working around the clock for the last two weeks, and about my only option left is Jiffy Lube.

The best they have is Union 76 synthetic.

Will it do in a pinch? My 2001 S4 has about 60k on it, but it hasn't been driven particularly hard.

Default I'd be more concerned about Jiffy Lube touching your car...

than what brand of synthetic they are using. If you do a search on Jiffy Lube on AudiWorld, you'll find enough horror stories to convince you to bring it elsewhere for the oil change.

As long as it meets the standard certs, I'm sure it will be fine.
