QS Conv vs. QS HM vs. PYB

[Fordiesel69]

I'd like to keep the thread on track with only these three oils:

-Quaker State Conventional
-Quaker State High Mileage
-Pennzoil conventional

Walmarts in my area seem to aggressivly discount both of the quaker state conventional and high mileage formula's. Not so much for Pennzoil Conventional or other brands. It makes sense to buy them over the $.50 cent difference of supertech. But is there really that much difference in formulations? A long time ago I read the QS conv and Pennzoil Conventional were nearly identical formulas minus a tiny little tweak in the additives to differentiate the product. That was back in 2010 that I read that, so times have probably changed.

They've gotta all be nearly the same... or at least close enough

Which ever marketing claims fool you the best. Same ratings oil is pretty much oil.

 

[Black_Thunder]

The Quaker State High Mileage is listed as being a synblend correct?

Which I suppose the Pennzoil Conventional and Quaker State Conventional could be as well just not labeled so

Forget those options get the super tech. Will do the job just as good and be cheaper. In fact skip super tech and get chevron supreme which is about a $1 cheaper than super tech conventional in a 5qt. If you are looking to get cheap oil then you cant beat chevron supreme for $12 for a 5qt.

PYB has a really good rep for cleaning, but I think I would use the cheapest one, there's not going to be much difference. Or cough up the extra buck or 2 for Quaker State Ultimate Durability.

 

[Triple_Se7en]

I never used high mileage oils, unless the vehicle needed it. So this is an easy decision..... Pennzoil conventional rules over QSC.

 

[ARCOgraphite]

using institute data

At the start of GF-5

Quaker State Conventional had high boron

PYB had high moly

al the other metrics were about the same.

mix em both and you will have the magic elixir

of moderately high moly and boron!

But the forms are diff now.

lemme look.

Quaker State Advanced Durability- Syn Blend $15/gallon

Quaker State Ultimate Durability- Full Synthetic $18/gallon


My vote is to spend the $3 and get the full flavor.

If you use 5w20, Quaker state advanced durability is $45.28 for 6-5 quart at Walmart.com and meets a few specs.

Chevron is a terrible deal now: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Chevron-Supreme-Motor-Oil-5W30/46683812

Yeah, it hasn't been $12 for a while now. It's a shame because it's got a great add pk and the 5w20 and 5w30 are blends at that price point. But I think the Havoline SB in the 6qt box works out to be just abt the same price/per qt. Aside from the extra seal conditioners I'd bet it's a very similar/same oil.

Of the 3, I'd choose Quaker State High Mileage syn blend but there's not a "bad" one in the lot.

I'm a longtime Mobil 1 user since 1987 but I been using the Quaker State Ultimate Durability Full Synthetic in my RAM the last 2 oil changes because I just can't beat the price savings over the Mobil 1 and it's a good oil.

At my local walmart its still $12.XX but Ive noticed the price online spiked out of nowhere. On another note, the 6qt box of Chevron at walmart is still $15 soooooo get that instead.

I look at those three conventional oils and then think why buy any of them when there is Super Tech Synthetic oil for close to the same price ?

My thoughts exactly. You can't go wrong with Super Tech Syn and it meets DEXOS standards too.
