PP @ Walmart

My other Walmart store finally got some 5W30 quarts... no jugs

It seems that 5W30 gets wiped clean in the aisles at the Walmarts I go to
 
does not the oil chosen have more to do with who watches nascar that weekend (which varies by location)? most folks dont give a hoot about UOA, TBN, or what type of base the oil is.... they see a brand flash across the screen and thats what they'll buy. if wally puts all Valvoline on the shelves then most likely people buying oil there are buying Valvoline....

No. They're different.

The specs on Quaker State Horse Power 5W-20 are actually better than the Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 if you ask me.

Once my Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 is gone, I'm switching to the Quaker State.

Why do you think the specs are better on the QS? I'm not disputing your opinion, I just don't understand it.

Lower pour point is nice, and the lower MRV viscosity should help during the winter, making the oil easier to pump (less strain on the battery and starter). I wish the CCS was tested at the same temperature so I could compare those, but I bet the Quaker State Q Horsepower would edge out the Platinum.

Those are the only real things that the Quaker State Q Horsepower seems to have in its favor over the PP. I would love to see a VOA so I could compare additive levels, though. PP may very well have more calcium.
 
Walmart in my area just stocked a bunch of PP

5W20, 5W30, 10W30 in quarts and jugs (I've never seen 5W30 in jugs so this is good news)

Good to see even though it takes a while, the stuff gets stocked
