What? No actual website doesn't scare you? Wolf's Head thinks this oil is sub-par.
Wow! City Star flunked PQIA's July testing.
PQIA Test Results July 2011
Nice to see some follow-up by NC authorities. Kudos to both.

Good for NC. Seems like the powers that be perhaps saw the PQIA Alert for City Star. Tom in NJ would be pleased to see this.
Some other states like Ohio, where that one gas/convenience store sells several of these losers, should do the same.

Wow, that stuff looks terrible! Looks as if they centrifuged out all of the additives and forgot to add any sort of VII's to get it back up to snuff.

100c viscosity was 3.01!! perhaps its a new thin is in oil for fuel economy! lol
I'm glad they removed this SB rated stuff from the shelves.

It's the same old story...why would anyone put this cr*p in their car in the first place? There IS one born every minute.
I was just joking with one of my buddies and telling him to use horse jive City Star in his new truck. I just sent him an email with the link........too funny.

Ohio should do this, but under the current administration, it ain't gonna happen.
Wouldn't be business-friendly, ya know?
Too bad for the poor saps who end up with ruined beaters.

Because most people have no idea what api rating means. They see 5w 30 etc and its cheaper. Most people don't really know what the 5w 30 numbers mean.

it says high mileage formula on the bottle,does that mean that the oil itself has high miles on it already...
How pathetic.
How could a company sink to such a level to bottle this stuff and market it as 'legit'?
Shame on them.

Ohio is one of the worst offenders. Higher likelihood of really [censored] quality gas in Ohio to (rust, water, etc.)

Nicely done.
That's its economy rating... The most miles per quart of any grocery store blend out there! Since most of the guys that dump this stuff in leave a cloud behind the old Dodge Omni...

It's just nice to see someone with the power step up and say you're not selling this garbage here, protecting the unsuspecting and/or unknowledgeable consumer. I feel like the PQIA alert/results played a big part in this decision. So, kudos to both PQIA and NC here.
As said, now it be nice if other states followed suit. But, a step in the right direction nonetheless.
