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 not gonna blame Ford...

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, QS 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 Pennzoil and...

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!!!!!!

Nine Inch Noize from Coachella...

Um, SL? More like SF I think without checking.... Later it was SH, and then SJ came out in the late 90's featuring the initial gen of standardized hydrocracked base oils....

Fram full syn 10W-30 is $3.65 a QT, picked up some for the lawnmower (which doesn't seem to need it): https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/fmfsn/12260505-P Was told Fram was sold off and is being liquidated, can't believe no one is at least taking over the brand...

5W-20 and 10W-30 weights were also on rebate but seemed to vanished from my area...

Castrol GTX High Mileage is on clearance at AAP for $14.95 (before $5 rebate): https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/castrol-gtx-high-mileage-5w-30-synthetic-blend-engine-oil-protects-against-sludge-5-quart-15980e/10069787-P

The oil is fine and is probably as good as anything else, but at that price I'd just buy Supertech full syn for a couple bucks more...

I did too but alas it's gone away like my college girlfriends...
