Or poor marketing - take the RGT attempt … I have it in the beloved Jeep bcs I got it on clearance - but no doubt in my mind that QSFS is a better value at full price …

Grades as in level of saturates and the VI? That would also depend on the quality of the subsequent hydrocracking of the feedstock.
Kinda funny/odd that this “ultra protection” is dollar more than “ultimate durability”. Just a observation is all
No reason not to spring for it being alitte over a dollar more if its available. Have not purchased any yet -- but will soon enough. Its at my Walmart -- seen it last week.
I just saw it here today in El Dorado. And it's priced with under a couple bucks from the Quaker State ultimate. It was under $25 for 5 quarts so that's fairly reasonable. I don't know how it will compare to ExxonMobil EP, but for a lot of people it hits the right price point. I've kind of thought that their high mileage full synthetic was a good performer.

I know a few of us were waiting on VOA's to come back. I came across a Youtube video of someone I subscribe to and he sent in a VOA of this in 0w20 if anyone is interested in looking at his report back from Blackstone, He post the sheet in his video. Interesting the TBN was 6.5.
In my confusion, I'd still like to know the actual difference between the 'ultra protection' and the 'ultimate durability'. Also, what are they going to do for a name when the next greatest oil comes along ?
Is it believed that this new Quaker State Ultimate Protection is a GTL oil ?
For the very least they are taking the excess remaining from the platinum and Ultra Platinum line and donating it over to Quaker State.

My new local Walmart has it in stock Mine too. Saw it Friday and grabbed a jug.

475*F flash point seems like the most impressive thing in that report
The 'Ultimate Durability' moniker was dropped for just plain 'Full Synthetic' over a year ago. SOPUS claim this Walmart exclusive (at least for now) has a better add pack, which is why so many were waiting on the VOA.
Thank you for that clarification, or should I say translation of advertising gobbletygook . . . The QS Ultimate Protection is a bargain now at Walmart anyway - cheaper than Pennzoil Platinum, Supertech, Castrol, Mobil-1, and whoever else I've left out.

Are the QT's in KC area top tier again.
Ford Boss Me Youtube video posted yesterday has BLACKSTONE Laboratories V.O.A. for Q.S.U.P. (?) 0w-20 . TBN is 6.5 . For more info of the Q.S.U.P. start at 3:21 into the 6:27 report . There are other V.O.A.s of 0w-20 synthetic oils that include M1 E.P. , Halvoline Pro D.S (?) , and Valvoline E.P. .

Isn't the virgin TBN pretty well worthless on most lubricants now, since they may contain non metallic additives that neutralize the relatively weak acids that come from today's ultra low sulfur fuels, while the standard method of calculating TBN test mostly just looks at the metallic additives.
