Smooth, and low NOACK. Two thumbs up!Hello,
Anyone use Quake State Full Synthetic Oil? Walmart have it on roll back for $15.99 and it's rated dexos Gen2., My go to oil is Castrol Edge full synthetic 5w30....Thanks.
Been there and done that! In the end I said, "the hell with programming," and decided that comm-electronics and telecommunications were my thing. Have made a decent living for 37 years now.Took a FORTRAN class in college. To complete an assignment I'd give the grad assistant behind the counter the stack of key punch cards I'd spent hours on, he'd take them into that huge room, and I'd wait for several hours to get the dot matrix printout. Then locate the errors, usually a missing or misplaced comma or period. Correct the error(s) and repeat the process a couple more times until it printed out a graphic composed of "x's". Finally aced the course but what a waste of time.
About the time I took the FORTRAN class, someone tried to tell me the future was in telecommunications. I thought, “Pfft, everyone has a telephone.”Been there and done that!

We all find our place over time, I'd like to think.About the time I took the FORTRAN class, someone tried to tell me the future was in telecommunications. I thought, “Pfft, everyone has a telephone.”
I was young and stupid, but things worked out, I’m living comfortably 47 years later.
I bought I believe on roll back for $17.99 (the former QSUD) - it is in 3rd place for me behind Valvoline Advanced and M1 for GDI engines as it has low VII's and a good amount of Moly added . The QSUD tends to leave a bit of varnish on engine internals , so either drop in a bottle of Rislone engine cleaner with a new oil fill OR switch to M1 every 2nd or 3rd new oil fill .Hello,

QS has always made good oil, but the Kirkland @ $16.25 a jug is also good oil, and cheaper.Hello,

My 2007 ecotec quacker state syn didn't work out well. For whatever reason higher oil consumption and I used it a few times in a row.
Well that Quacker State is a real quack of a oil.....
But the Quaker State oil is the real deal.
Ok...Scotty.....I've "heard" Quaker State and Pennzoil, causes sludge buildup, Castrol causes build up in the air intake, excess blow by.. the latter I have never heard before. Until recently, the prior I know is a thing, several years back..
14.4k modemIt was actually the 70's and I even used my old computer. It required over 200 punch cards to reply to your post.
Might be the first post you've ever made I agree with.Use QS with confidence. It ran smooth in my truck last oil change. I have a large supply recently purchased at WM on clearance for about $1 per qt. So, I am using it.
I see minimal difference between the major brands. They're all good stuff.

But is it 'carbon neutral' like my beloved PPHM?they are underated oils. the 5w30 full synthetic has lower pour point, higher base number, better ccs and mrv and much lower noack than pennzoil ultra platinum 5w30. the api has tested the 0w20 version in 2020 and the results are impressive. noack is 7.1 the 0w20 full synthetic has better ccs, higher flashpoint and lower noack than amsoil signature 0w20 and is close to match it's pour point at -52 celcius vs -53 celcius for the 0w20 amsoil signature. canadian tire always has very good prices in my area for these oils.
