QSUD 5W-40 now at Walmart

[Snagglefoot]

With BMW Longlife-01 and at that price point, could it unseat M1 0W-40 in BITOG lore?

Which one is in the BITOG lore? Mobil 1 FS or Mobil 1 ESP. ESP is the Corvette oil.

 

[Snagglefoot]

I don’t believe that’s a “Euro” oil though.

We expanded beyond the Euro at posting #51.

QS is going to be very limited with ZDDP, unlike M1.

The QS wemay posted is Euro a3/b4 and LL-01, etc. I was expecting it to be similar to M1 Euro 0W -40.
Curious why the zzdp is very limitted?

SP limits ZDDP in W40 to 800ppm. Also, Shell bets on other additives.

Do you know this QS Noack # and Moly amounts?

I really do not. But, considering it is GTL, Noack is probably in 8% range.

I was in 2 of the local Wally World's lately and don't see this. Don't see it on their website (Wally) or QS?

I had to do a specific search for Quaker 5w40 to get it to come up on mine. Must be selling, they only had two when I looked.

This what you’re looking for?

Still don't see it - this is it. They show the UD version in a single clear quart bottle for an outrageous price.

No moly! Was expecting QS to have some or a chunk.

Me too!!! also the NOACK seems a little high and TBN kinda low, compared to the stellar Mobil 1 0W-40....but I guess something has to give for the price....
(Wish I had more of those $25 12quart boxes stashed from the recent Walmart clearance)

 

[Passport1]

I looked for it at my local evilMart. Must be stocked with the unicorns.

Yeah, I was surprised. 5W-30 QSUD have Mo 129

Are we sure that's the same stuff? How can SP have that much ZDDP?

If that is correct it's nothing more than the cheap bulk 5w40's you get at the VW dealer, but that would explain the smokin' price.

40grade oils don't have the same ZDDP limits

 

[KCJeep]

I thought that changed with SP, I guess not. I see the VOA is SN, maybe the SP at Wally's is different.

SP in only applicable to viscosity grades SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30.
Not 0W-40 or 5W-40.

Found it today on top shelf hiding/backwards. Picked it up for a "why not" oil change in a few weeks on my Sportwagen - it will be at 5K on the M1 0W40 anyway. Will do a VOA on it as well. ~$23 for 6qts, don't like the buy the 5L for the spare this go around b/c just trying it.
