Quaker State???? Any good?

[bigjohn]

I have never purchased Quaker State, but this deal has me interested.... especially with all the rumors of a coming lubricant shortage.

30wt will fit many of my vehicles. Not worried about the 10, rather than 0 or 5.

Quaker State oil meets or exceeds all the specifications required by most cars on the road. You can use it with confidence.

Wow that's cheap. Get 10 and be set for a good while.

I never recommend ordering oil online but that is your choice.

Anyways nothing wrong with Quakerstate, it is good oil and all the bad reputation is from way back in the 70s and 80s, anyone who says Quakerstate is bad oil is clueless.

The limit is 6 jugs... I ordered 6. Thinking of having the wife sign on to Amazon and order 6.


They will be delivered to my door. I typically change my oil twice a year, as that is good with my mileage.... So this 10w30 will be my Summer Oil... Then I will do either 0w30 or 5w30 for my winter fill.

Good plan.
My advice...try to be home during the delivery window.
Ask me why/how I know

It's good oil & there's no reason to not buy some, especially at that bargain price. That's a win.

Its just as good as any other mainstream synthetic... Use with confidence. I've already received my 2, and am having to resist ordering more.

 

[Tdbo]

It does what is required.

If you don't have consumption you will after you put that in the crankcase. Dakota, Escape even the mowers drank that oil. Odd I know but the Dakota's never used oil and stopped after back to ST.

You won't find 5 quarts of a better full synthetic oil for ~$13!

The Quaker State EURO OIL is excellent for $23 at WM.

I have used Quaker State full synthetic obviously without issues.

It was mildly popular around here for some time due to price. However I think interest wained when Walmart stopped stocking it.

I am pretty stocked up or I would certainly be a buyer.

I ran Quaker State Full Synthetic 5w30 in my 2014 Caprice with the GM 3.6L LFX. It never consumed any oil, never had any startup chain rattle, or other odd noises. Very solid oil that is on the thicker end of a 5W30. Very underrated oil IMO.

It was bought by Pennzoil way back in the 80's, then both were bought by Shell (SOPUS) in the 90's. It's a very good bargain oil using largely natural gas bases with a mixed reputation based largely on ignorance and apocryphal boogyman stories. It was a fan favorite here in the 90's and I literally put it into hundreds or thousands of cars with no issues..

It's probably similar to Platinum with a slightly different additive package or base oil composition...

Quaker State showed the best wear numbers of any oil I tested in my jeep.

Great oil and Quaker State Ultimate Protection is even better
Never an issue except silky smooth

Yeah, not long after I got my first car (early 80s) and started doing my own maintenance, my dad told me don't use Quaker State because it was paraffin based and would clog up your engine.

Thats what my dad told me about Penzoil around the same time. Well he just said don't use it.

I still won't use it. Old habits and all.

Back in the 90's and even into the 00's you could tell a Quaker State engine just by the burned smell, as soon as you took a valve cover off. Clog up an engine indeed, horrible stuff. Saw it first hand myself.

It was a legit concern back in the day. I've never run Quaker State myself because of it, even though I readily admit it has nothing to do with the oils of today and the myth needs to die, along with adding ATF to diesel to clean things up.
