Quaker State synthetic oil

[vronline]

Was just at AAP this evening and stocked up on PP during their BOGO sale. I saw two different Quaker State synthetic oils there, QS Advanced Full Synthetic and Q Torque Power. I was hoping someone was familiar with these oils and could tell me what the difference is between the two?

I could be wrong, but I think that the Q Torque Power has been replaced by the QS Advanced Full synthetic.

No Quaker State sells both a Quaker State brand synthetic oil and also the have a line of performance oils under the Q name.

QTorque Power is for higher reving/higher workload trucks, vans and SUVs.

Torque Power is for trucks, the Advance Formula is for autos.
But what the difference is, I don't know.
5w30 is 5w30, or is it.

Just marketing IMO. I tried both, currently running torque power in my engine, feels no different, engine sounds the same, no increase or loss of power.

I'd get the pennz over both, I think it might be a little better.

Ditto. Johnny has indicated that PP has a better base stock than the QS syns. With them all being essentially the same price, it's a no-brainer.

I bought the Q-Power 4x4 5W-20 when AAP had BOGO....still waiting for the Kendall GT1 full synthetic to rack up more miles before i make the switch.
