I got the PDS from Quaker State. It took 5 emails to get it. They claimed they didn't even know it was available until I sent photos and it's walmart exclusive.

Be interesting if overkill would chime in and give us his opinion of want he thinks about what base stock QS is using. Has to be something QS has never used before to claim 20K mile or one year service
Well, that’s the thing...when they claim 20k miles of protection, is there anyone/anything holding them to a certain standard or certification for it? Because I don’t think there is anything preventing these companies from making that claim right now. I know some certainly seem capable of it (and are capable of it), HPL, Amsoil, etc, but what is keeping the others honest? I just haven’t seen or heard of anything. And the major off the shelf brands also hedge their bets by stating to stick to the manufacture oil change interval recommendation (Last I checked but I could be wrong about that).

Very valid point.
If I can find a quart I’m gonna send off a sample. I’m very curious

Depends on the vehicle use - and possibly enhanced filtration units. A long distance commuter or salesman/rep clocking 2500+ easy highway miles a month might do it. Engine must be in good tune.

Most North American vehicle owners manual's will require you to follow OLM or a change at 10K or 1 year.

I don't think a consumer lever VOA will show you much other than a somewhat boosted Ca/MagSul DP load.
