Any Quaker State Ultimate Durability users here?

Quaker State Full Synthetic is GTL. Quaker State Full Synthetic 5w40 is the same oil as Pennzoil Platinum. The Euro 0w30 LX is the same oil in Quaker State and Pennzoil bottles.

0W-20, 5W-20 and 5w30 are a little different between Pennzoil Platinum and Quaker State Full Synthetic., but still GTL based.

Just changed my oil recently with the Quaker State Full Synthetic. I wish they came-up with a better name. Who wants "Half Synthetic?"

I've used QS products in the past... Good enough for me. The only reason I switched from SuperTech was the cost. I don't have any idea why this oil isn't more popular, considering today's economy and price hikes. (Not that one should purchase on price alone.) I did some searching on this forum and it appears QS has fallen a bit to the wayside as far as ranking. Why? Dunno.

Another weird observation - The jug cap only screws on/off with a breaking seal. Many oils today are bottled with both a cap and a foil seal also...

I just put it in the 5.0!

I wanna change my oil soon. Going to a GASP! 5W20 Quaker State Full Synthetic for the upcoming Winter.
No FL-910S in stock at the local Walmart. I still have a month to find one; I do have an Orange Can if I have no success.

I've been eyeballing Quaker State Full Synthetic after reading here about how good it is for the price....hoping it's as good as my favorite, discontinued Magnatec. Menards has it for about $23 bucks a jug after rebate, ChinaMart for $22.

I'm not sure if it's considered part of the Quaker State Ultimate Durability family, but I've been very happy with the Quaker State High Mileage Synthetic Blend. Usually 10w40, sometimes 10w30. I've used it for 3 years. It's the only HM I tried that actually really slowed up the various oil seeps on my old slant 6 truck. Several other brands did not. I've noticed that the price ( WM) has recently risen to $15.94 for the 5 qt. I need 6 qt. on an O&F change. It had been at about $15. for some years.

Brands of HM blends that I won't use again in that truck are Valv. ML, Cast GTX., and especially Havoline HM blend.

What's your source of information on which you base these assertions?

I used QS once back when they had those clear bottles. These days I pick Pennzoil over QS. Here in Canada their rebates are better and more frequent making it the cheaper Shell oil. If a good sale and rebate combo pops up for QS, then I'll pick up a jug, but that hasn't happened so far, at least not when I'm shopping for oil.

Anyone here remember the rare as hen’s teeth QS Horsepower 5W50 in the clear bottles?

I remember these.

PDS are identical for the oils I mentioned that are the same.

I have stores all around me employing local folks; they get ALL of my business. I have only shopped Amazon for oddball stuff I cant find locally anymore like Pear's original bath soap or some garbage electronics doo-dads. I don't need some huge box truck hauling a tiny oil filter 20 miles to my cabin in the woods sucking Nine dollars of Diesel to get there and back.

Sorry @JJ you hit a pet peeve. Amazon is a very very bad thing.

Quaker State Full Synthetic 5w30 is in my Element, nice and quiet over the 5w20 that came out of it. Quaker State Full Synthetic Euro 5w40 will be going in my Expedition next oci as well as my C1500, bought a bunch from walmart.com when it was on sale.

So it was speculation, and not based on any kind of definitive information like identical batch codes on containers.

I don't think batch codes would work because they, usually, also include the customer code.

That would only hold true if it were a batch being blended for a specific customer. That might happen for a very common product for Walmart, who might order 100,000 gallons of 5W-20 at one time, but virtually no other wholesale account would get that kind of treatment.
