    Can someone post the specs on Quaker State HM

    For some reason I can't get their website to work correctly and I'd like to know the viscosity of their 10w-30 and 5w-30. I'm also wondering if they still use that slick 50 garbage in their formulation. I didn't see any mention of it on the front of the bottles that I looked at last night.

    alternator amperage at idle?

    How many amps should my Caddy's alternator be putting out at idle? The battery keeps going dead and I took to four diff auto parts places today to have it checked.

    While visiting my local drug pharmacy I found some Citgo Supergard, Exxon Superflo 10w-30, and Shell High Mileage. The Citgo oil is SL and 2.89 a quart. The Exxon Superflo is the same price and the Shell HM is 4.15 a quart. My question is, are any of these oils worth messing with at these prices?
