I would imagine it's pretty tough to build a 176 VI dino without a lot of VIIs. If it were me, I wouldn't run it more than 3K unless the UOAs demonstrate it's ability at longevity.

True, but might contain Group III+ and/or XHVI.

Pennzoil HM also looks similarly interesting.

Oh Johnny...

I think it's a good HM oil, at least as good as the rest. I still like the Pennzoil HM better due to the base stock and additive package. The QS uses Group II and the Pennzoil uses Group II+. The Pennzoil also uses a Shell VI improver and the Quaker State does not. But they both do the job they were designed to do, as do Castrol and Valvoline.

Thanks Johnny.
