    Quaker State???? Any good?

    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...

    Quaker State???? Any good?

    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...

    Quaker State???? Any good?

    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...

    Toyota’s stance on using a heavier weight oil

    Toyota’s stance on using a heavier weight oil

    Quaker State???? Any good?

    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...

    How does a modern 5w30 compare to a 1990s 10w30

    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....
