It took 22 posts before someone read the warranty requirements.
And yes, marketing from all companies is for the small minded fools that don't do any research. I too will just change my oil/filter as I have always done, too frequently according to many here, and could care less what is on the box/bottle label for marketing, and is what I have been recommending to all.
There is no truth in hype. There is some truth in data and facts. But, feelings are much better

People do it, I highly recommend against extended oil change intervals. It seems to me the people who go these extended intervals are not the ones tearing into these engines.
If I am not mistaken Eric the car guy did a 20k interval of Mobil 1 in a Honda Odyssey.
QS has dropped products for new products even recently, this is the case with the All Mileage oil.
The price difference being so minimal and all indications of this being a superior oil it probably would be in their best interest to drop the regular "Full Synthetic" line for the new Ultimate Protection, it makes no sense to keep both lines of oil going.
You kind of took the words right out of my mouth on that post. My understanding was that ExxonMobil has some of the cleanest oils around. Not to mention a lot of their oils fit a lot of niche automobiles that a lot of other brands won't even make an oil weight like the 0w30 advanced fuel economy that I use or some of the Mercedes-Benz specific oils.

Because at all the stores around me, it replaced QSFS 0W-20. It hasn't been placed alongside it. And to get rid of the QSFS 0W-20, they clearanced it out.
That whole "broken clock is right twice a day" slogan.
Alos, I can't find it anywhere lol, I wonder what a VOA will look like.

Will there be additive fall out in these new QSUS bottles like PP and PUP ??
It's a top tier mainstream oil, but a little less pricey than Castrol, Mobil etc.
Which is not to say I am going to try to get 20,000 miles out of it!
Wonder if they'll make a high mileage version of this? 
Funny how QSUD 5w-40 went to QSFS 5w-40 recently when it went from API SN to API SP?
Had 5qt jugs and single qts in stock today, did pick up a jug of 5w30 for later.
Aren't VW 504/507 oils 20k miles oils?
They are tested and rated to 650 engine hours. Just multiply your average speed by those 650hrs and get the miles.
Say your average speed is 30m/h, 650*30=19500 miles.
Where average speed takes into consideration not only time you move but also when you idle.

If they meet identical certifications, any performance differences will be statistically indistinguishable, especially at 5k intervals. Data sheets don’t tell you how an oil will perform, and neither will a VOA. Sorry
Nowhere did I suggest it did. It does however show if there is any major differences.If they meet identical certifications, any performance differences will be statistically indistinguishable, especially at 5k intervals.

And what will “major” differences tell you, when they both meet the same certs? Absolutely nothing, other than if it meets your engine’s requirements that it is suitable for use and will give statically similar performance to another certified oil.
Does it have a bigger additive pack, does it have more or less magnesium, calcium, zinc, is the viscosity a little higher or a little lower from the start, etc compared to the regular full synthetic. What is so wrong about wanting to know these details?
