    Does Quaker State contain more seal conditioners than Pennzoil?

    Alright I see all the sarcasm. I understand it's just marketing and the stars/checks are nearly meaningless. I wasn't reading it as some vastly major difference between the two. Perhaps I should I have worded the main post differently, apologies. I understand most syns clean pretty well and...

    Does Quaker State contain more seal conditioners than Pennzoil?

    I noticed that all varieties of QS claim to have at least some seal conditioners to "help prevent and reduce leaks." But the star chart on the Pennzoil only claims the high mileage helps this issues. I know the wording is different, "prevent and reduce leaks" vs "conditions older seals." Still...

    Used push mower I was looking at was a fluke. I'm considering buying a new self propelled. My old mower was a B&S 190cc 6.75 ft lbs. Seems like most of the new ones come in a 150cc 6.25 ft lbs or 163cc 7.25 ft lbs How noticeable, if at all, would the 6.25 vs the 7.25 be? I prefer the model...
