I was in Walmart the other day, and I walked over to the oil section to see what was new. One of the things I noticed was that was new quart bottles of 10W-30 Quaker State Ultimate Durability. The 5W-30 was still the older bottles. The reason it caught my eye was because, even though the front of the bottle looked almost the same, it was slightly different. Whereas the old label, in the upper right corner, says "Unsurpassed wear protection" the new label just said something to the effect of "durable" oil.
Flipping it over, I scanned the back label. The wording was changed slightly as well. It said how the oil used "heat activated zinc additives"
I tried Quaker State Q Horsepower a couple years ago and was impressed how smooth and quiet it made our engines run, but then I tried Pennzoil Ultra and was thinking about going back to Quaker State and seeing if there was a difference. Seeing the new label has me concerned, it also said meets SN and GF-5, among others, was there a formula change?
My old Q Horsepower bottle that the heat activated molecules created a low friction, ultra heat resistant film that maximized horsepower. There was no such mention of low friction film on the new label.
I can understand them changing the label for marketing reasons, but was there a major formula change?
Johnny, could you shed any light on this? Thanks.
