Back in the 70’s I worked Kenny Toyota in Seattle as a mechanic. They had two oil change stations. One Pennzoil and the other Quaker State.
When opening the valve cover on a 100,000 mile car with Pennzoil the valve train would have a buildup of what looked like black tar coal. When adjusting the valves on a Quaker State car it was clean kind of a golden color. Quaker State engines would regularly run over 200k. Never saw that with Pennzoil.
 
The explanation could just be one car doing late changes and the other doing on time changes. But what was back then was back then. Shell now owns both quaker state and pennzoil so that's why the 3 jugs are the same design minus color. They're all good and I'd use any of them. I'm using quaker state 5w-40 at the moment.
 
Folks - This is a troll post. Thread locked.

If anyone thinks that 50 year old tales from a “mechanic” are still relevant, then, I have an IBM Selectric typewriter that I can use to prove that personal computers will never become popular.

And a bridge for sale in Brooklyn.
