Quaker State Ultimate Durability label differences

[aquariuscsm]

I browsed the Walmart oil aisle today while I was in there picking up a few groceries. I saw two different Quaker State Ultimate Durability jugs,both DEXOS1/Gen2. The jug with the born on date of May 2018 has a "Protects modern turbocharged engines" logo on it,while the other jug with a born on date of April 2018 does not have that logo. Are they the same exact formulas? I'm guessing that logo was just a recently added label bling?

Probably a dumb question,I know

Newer one is probably SN plus rated

Yep, newer product is SN+.

The Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 I bought a couple of weeks ago shows a "born on date" of 28MAR18, and does not claim SN+. So they made that change in about April or May? It does claim Dexos1 Gen2, and "Redesigned for Modern Turbocharged Engines."

What's the difference between SN and SN+?

If you dig it up, Pennzoil says they were making the latest oil before switching to the new jugs and bottles.

Thanks!!

That explained it very well for me. A lot of times the petroleum tech lango goes WAY over my head

I wonder how different SN+ add packs are? Will the Quaker State Ultimate Durability SN+ still be loaded with moly?

I am using the new Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 with grading A5 and API SN PLUS on my 2018 ELantra Sport TGDI. Pretty positive performance result. But need to make sure it got the new label API SN PLUS on the bottle.
