    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

    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.....

    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....

    2003 - 2008 Corolla Experience with high miles?

    Some of these vintage of Corollas developed issues with burning oil, because the return ports tended to be less than adequate and could get gummed up if the engine wasn't well maintained (as in frequent oil changes with good quality oils). Using a synthetic in reasonable intervals prevented any...
