Q-TorquePower

[charbaby]

I purchaced 9 qts of Quaker State Torque Power from W*M on closeout in early spring 09 and am about to use it on the next OCI. Of the 9 qts, 3 are 5W30 and the other 6 are 10W30. Has anyone had any experience with Quaker State Torque Power and would you like to comment. NOT Quaker State Q Horsepower but Quaker State Torque Power! Looking forward to hearing your reviews and please mention your vehicle, engine and OCI/mileage

This year I ran it in three vehicles. A Cobalt (Mom's ride), my F150, and I changed over to TP 5W30 in my trail Jeep prior to a trip to Moab, UT. It ran quiet and smooth in every vehicle. I like it!

I did a 7500+/- run in my Mom's Cobalt, a 6,000 run in my truck, and I plan to keep the 5W30 in my Jeep throughout next years wheeling season to see how it withstands the abuse (providing I don't roll and dump out what's in there; already had to replace over 1/2 qt from a roll). I'll UOA the Jeep after next summer.

I bought 20 quarts 5w30 on clearance from walmart this year also. So far I have used 10 quarts on two oil changes in my Honda Accord. It runs smooth and consumption is negligeable. I like it.

I like the clear bottle.

I have Q-Torque Wal-Mart close-out oil in my truck now, and I will be changing it in 2 months with more WMCO Q-Torque. The oil seems a little darker than other oil.

I am on my second run of it in my 05 Explorer. I run it to 5k for warranty purpose. Runs smooth and quiet and 0 consumption.

 

[charbaby]

Excellent! I can't wait to use it.

I bought 10 5qt jugs at Walmart for $9-11 each on cloesout and sent in the QS $10 rebate in on a few. I am running it for 5000 OCI's in my T4Runner 4.0L V6 with excellent results. I have it in the clear and copper colored bottles. It is 2007 vintage. I bought all I could find.

I, too, bought a boatload of it. I've only used one quart of it in a blend I made, and gave some away. I haven't asked my friend how it's doing in his vehicles.

I'm running the 5w30 now in an 01 Tacoma. Like you, got it on closeout @WM for ~$10 a jug. Seems to be running fine, and I plan on ~6k OCI, with 6-7 months.

5w30 works well in my Saturn ION. Often I would only pay $3 per quart.

5w20 works well in my mom's 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I only paid $2 per quart because nobody in my area trusted 5w20 oil!

 

[charbaby]

Yeah, I paid about 2 bucks per qt.

I purchased several 5 quart 5w30 Q-Torque jugs myself, ran just over 12k in my Honda Accord, great oil, did consume one quart which is very unusual for this car during the OCI, however I have heard, read etc it's normal for such when switching between brands of oils, however I have run these type synthetics pretty much the entire time I have had the car, PP, Edge, Mobil 1, I'm sure some others I can't think of right now. I have several more left, and my daddy also runs it in his Toyota, he even asked me for another jug he liked it so much.

I just found 5 quarts of this oil @ $2.50 each at WM. They must have had it in the back because I've been in the store many times and never saw it before. How does this oil differ from Q-Horsepower? Johnny?

 

[chevrofreak]

They don't publish any real numbers for it, but the 5w30 Pour Point (-33C) is significantly higher than the Horsepower (-45C). Pour Point is meaningless, though. You need to go by MRV and CCS at sub zero temperatures, which are numbers they don't publish. I've put a quart of this stuff in my freezer and it was significantly more fluid than Mobil 1 10w30 High Mileage, which claims -54C pour point.

I too purchased Q TorquePower at the WM closeout on it back in the spring. I think there are better oils out there, but I'm sure the Quaker State Torque Power will serve you fine, as it did me. I used it for about 6mo/6000mi, which imo is long enough for a fairly low-end synthetic. My 2000 Volvo V70 consumed absolutely no oil while the Quaker State Torque Power was in the engine, and I had no problems during that time. It's gotta be good oil but if it hadn't been $11 or $12 for a 5-quart jug I probably would not have bought it. Had been using it until last week, now I'm using PP.

 

[hpichris]

Man, I wish I had caught the close out sale!

I got 3-4 jugs for $10 too. All 10w30, so fine, it seems like a summer oil anyway. It'll go in the Astra for summer and the PZ Semi Synthetic 5w30 for winter. I may have to do a mixed oci of both based on my inventory, but no big deal.
