I don't see anything interesting hear.
A mediocre, low VI, predominately conventional oil with increased ZDDP levels. Quaker State is a late entry to that old party.

How about that recent HONDA mit Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w20 used oil analysis reporting viscocity just about out of spec. So much for modern VII robustness. I dont want a sheared 6 cst oil in my engine. I dont even want a sub 3 cSt running viscosity either. Scale that tiny honda FIT engine up to a chevy 350 and you have insane wear. No wonder GM said "see you later" to API ILSAC specs - They have skin in the game now with their 100K warranty and high specific output engines.

Found some 5 quart jugs of 5w30 in Walmart. Says it meets "SL" on the back of the jug. But no API donut.
This stuff is at WalMart in Houston. SL rating. Very inexpensively priced too.
Do you remember the price?
I have 4 Jeep Cherokees with the 4.0 that Need this oil. Very Exciting. Quaker State 10w-40 is in my 2001 SilverStone Metallics 4.0 and even though only has 64,9?? miles on her 4.0, she is leaking a weee bit from the rear main(Kinda soon, even by 4.0 standards, my 99s 4.0 rear main has 140,??? miles and is still dry! Oops Jinx...)that give me plenty of reason to use this oil with proabably more Zinc/Phospherous that the 10w-40 im using now. Will It be in a Green Bottle? That will play a Big part in my decision...

I'm really interested in this for the Jeep as well, I'm glad to hear it's actually showing up.

Lets see how much they are going to ask for it... When the price of oil goes up the dust on the oil containers in stores also go up
Same price as the current Quaker State High Mileage, $14.84 or something close to that, just a little under $15. At least at my local Walmart. Only had one jug on the shelf, 0W-20, amongst all the Quaker State High Mileage. Checked it on the scanner, showed same price as the HM. I'm waiting for it to show up in 5w30 for the old Miata.
My local Walmart has 5W30 Defy. It is in the spot where the Quaker State High Mileage 5W30 used to be. It's the same price as the High Mileage oil, but it makes me wonder if the intent of QS was to REPLACE the regular High Mileage oil...
