Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5w30 Noisy

[JerryBob]

Changed the Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30 with Quaker State Ultimate Durability on my 2015 Tacoma V-6, and the engine is noisier, and there is a valve tapping on the driver's side. This was after a 2 hour trip in the engine.

Should I ignore it, or switch back to EP? The Quaker State Ultimate Durability was cheap enough to where it won't kill me to drain it out.

possibly a dumb question here, but oil's all topped off and not running low?

i had the opposite experience with the 1GR 4.0 V6 in my '19 4runner. currently running Quaker State Ultimate Durability, and it runs extremely quiet. i know you guys have an atkinson cycle V6 that's quite different from ours though.

Maybe your car likes a real (closer to real I should say) syn oil better

I wouldn't change the oil now but next time go back to what you and your car like.

That's unusual. I have found Quaker State Ultimate Durability to be quieter in all of my engines. If the oil level is good, I would just leave it be until the next oil change.

I run the 0/20w in my Silverado and it runs fine.

Threads like these are very hard to believe.

It's definitely quieter in our 2002 Honda minivan.

Yes, I changed it one week ago with 5.5 quarts.

Did the filter get changed? If so, is it the brand of filter you usually use?

When I've had a noisy engine issue after an oil change, it's been the filter.

You would be surprised that different oils can cause a large change in audible noises from an engine. Perfect example my lady's 98 Camry... Had Super S and Cam2 5w30 synthetic blend oils in there.. it was noticeably loud when I first put in that car... Next run put in Federated Auto parts synthetic blend aka Warren Distribution oil in there and when I started the car... Rather loud for a half second like it had been... The way, way quieter.. The same oil filter was left on from the previous run. It was quite a difference. You would have had to have been Helen Keller not to notice the very noticeable difference in how much quieter the Federated Auto parts oil was vs the others that were in there before.

I find Quaker State Ultimate Durability to be super quiet "anytime" I have used it.

 

[danez_yoda]

did you shake the bottles an even or odd number of times before pouring it in?

left had or right hand?


there is a proper way to use Quaker State Ultimate Durability that make it quiet,

Go over all your steps to make sure everything was secured properly. Engine cover and hood support rod for example.

Same here. It's the Mobil 1 that was always noisy in my engines.

Quaker State Ultimate Durability is usually more quite than M1

 

[aquariuscsm]

This is the first post I've ever read where Quaker State Ultimate Durability was noisy. It's one of those "legendary quiet" oils. I wonder if a sudden change in add pack chemistry caused the ticking? Maybe your engine was "used to" the M1 chemistry? It'll probably quiet right back up after it's been in your engine for awhile. This is just a hunch,so I may be completely wrong.

The old "my engine is noisier on oil B vs oil A" conversation is nothing but an irresovable bs-fest.

You know what they say about opinions.... everybody has one....

+1. I think the threadstarter has his scenario BACKWARDS!

10-4!

You should have used Pennzoil. Even way quieter than M1

Exact same oil filter used this time? If not, that may be the culprit.

I just did a M1/Redline cocktail this past oci and its quiet. Its really hot too so its possible that any oil could be noisy OR you could be due for a valve lash adjusting. Hemi had ticks and found two noise issues. One was low quality fuel other was just needed a more robust oil. My guess...Its maybe not the oil.
