After some years in the lube industry, I found that cars' AF's started getting dirty around 15K, but some didn't warrant replacement for over 20K. So as previously said above, it depends on the environment, if the little critters around you got in, and driving habits as much as anything. But...

I also noticed that Mobil 1 massively upped all their their pour points listed on the PDS'. For instance, Advance Clean 5W-30 now shows a very pedestrian -33C Pennzoil Platinum that was previously around -45C. But I could also be completely insane...

However, eating at Quaker Steak & Lube can cause massive sludging... :):sick::poop:

The "sludging legend" comes from when both the above now SOPUS products were based in Pennsylvania (along with Kendell) long ago. I'm not sure when both moved to Texas prior to merging with Pennzoil as the senior partner. I was once told (as people often asked or commented about rumors of...

f Maybe look in the mirror on that one....

So basically you're blaming Quaker State for someone not maintaining their vehicle but some other super oil would have been different? I did once change oil on a Ford F-150 straight-six that had NEVER had it's oil changed at 40,000 miles! The bumpkin would top it off but couldn't recall...

Dude, stop...what you most likely saw was from some idiot that didn't change their oil and blamed it on the product they ran for 12,000 miles... I changed thousands of cars' oil sumps with SF/SH era Quaker State and nothing of the sort happened. It didn't "burn" any differently than any other...

LOL Around the late 2000's -2011, Quaker State Euro was the American Ferrari Dealership fill. I'm guessing a lot of owners (not that there are a lot of Ferrari owners in N America) were aghast... I bought like 20 qts. at Ollie's Outlet around 2011 when they dumped it, they switched to...

The engines will eventually be replaced under warranty, the 0W-40 was/is a stopgap so they didn't have to replace all the engines at once as sort of a triage approach. I was also told the engineering fail issue will also persist with the 0W-40, and it just slows it down.....

Don't worry, all weights of oil will be short. Just go on Walmart.com and see all the "low stock" tags... https://www.walmart.com/search?q=motor%20oil

It was bought by Pennzoil way back in the 80's, then both were bought by Shell (SOPUS) in the 90's. It's a very good bargain oil using largely natural gas bases with a mixed reputation based largely on ignorance and apocryphal boogyman stories. It was a fan favorite here in the 90's and I...

For the non-DIY'ers. Saw this today at the Walmart checkout I waited 15 minutes at to buy a bottle of FI cleaner....

LET'S GOOOO BUFFALOOOO!!!!!!
