QSUD 0W-20 Blend dexos1

[Hokiefyd]

Sorry for the acronym in the title for new members, but I was on Walmart's website and noticed Quaker State Ultimate Durability in 0W-20 as a "Synthetic Blend", with the dexos1 certification. Here's a link to the TDS from Shell.com:

Has anyone seen this out in the wild? Walmarts apparently have it, but I haven't been in one for a few weeks. This is the first time I've seen QSUD marketed as a blend.

It has a decent MRV and NOACK; the viscosity index isn't very high.

My local Walmart on the Outer Banks doesn't carry it.

Cant say I have seen it. It has DEXOS approval so I am not going to buy it thought.

Good luck in finding it.

You aren't going to buy it because it has Dexos approval? Why is that?

 

[dave1251]

Because of the GM royalty. If DEXOS was a one time flat fee for approval then I would have no issues purchasing a DEXOS approved product.

Decent MRV and correct on VI, but a 9% Noack for a synthetic is very good. For a blend? That's a great number.

Yes I see this semi-synthetic at My Wal-mart (south/central) Texas. Along with Full synthetic Quaker State 0-20. What I don't see is Castrol Edge 0-20, Only 5-20. I think Quaker State makes a very good product.I may use it in my Wifes 14 CRV, if I cannot find 0-20 Edge.(just my preference).

QSUD full synthetic 0w20 is already one of the cheapest 0w20 out there, what's the point of a blend?

Or...until you can find it.....

I bet it's going to be marketed mostly to shops.

Yeah, this...

If it's a Quaker State Blend - then it can't be QSUD ...It has to be something else in the line up because all QSUD is Group III synthetic (no blend) .

That's not QSUD. Just Quaker state blend as Chris posted.

I don't see this online at Walmart.

Doesn't the API charge a per gallon royalty as well?

My bad. I missed that the PDS didn't have the "Ultimate Durability" part. Here's the direct link to Walmart.com:

I read "Enhanced Durability" as "Ultimate Durability".
