Thats funny you mentioned that QS took out the Slick 50. When choosing an HM oil for the Blazer I was looking at the QS and saw the Slick 50 label on the corner of the QS bottle. That eliminated QS as a choice, for me. Maybe Slick 50 is good I wouldnt really know, Im mostly here lurking and learning. But to me Slick 50 is synonymous with Sat. morning informercials when I was a kid. You always wondered if it was a 30 min. [censored]. commercial....

How about 1.23 quarts of Quakerstate, 2 quarts of Maxlife, a pint of brake fluid, another quart of Amsoil (we know you LOVE Amsoil), and rinse it all down good with some brake clean.
That should resolve the foaming issues you had with your last experiment.
You may not remember my wacky fill I did in the 9-5 once. Here's a refresher...

My Ranger takes 5 qts. Lets say I used 5 diff. brands of oil. Using dino,blend,and full syn, but all the same viscosity. Is there any harm in doing this?

Took it out and now package it with Pennzoil YB.
I saw a prepackaged oil change deal at Pep Boys yesterday that included a bottle of Slick 50 and 4 or 5 qts (don't remember how many) of yellow bottle.
Kind of makes you want to

That's old packaging also. Both were bad ideas. And to answer BrianWC question, yes, it is not what it use to be.
so QS has SLICK 50?? WOW iI'm not using OS or PYB anymore...

bmoc, it's comments like that, that get you labeled a troll. The slick 50 is gone from pennz HM and never was in PYB or QS. Of course, that's already been said in this thread.

I find all of this misleading. I'm very confused.
It seems to me that you do not understand what you read. I said no such thing. So read this.
1. Shell completely changed the formulation of Slick 50 four years ago. It DOES NOT have PTFE (teflon) in it anymore. It is a 10W-30 carrier oil with an overload of AW and FM additives in it.
2. As a stupid marketing ploy about three years ago, they put this new Slick 50 in the Quaker State HM oils (NOT the Pennzoil HM oil). Also in a stupid marketing move, they packaged the new Slick 50 is some special 4 quart packages of both Pennzoil and Quaker State oils.
3. The new Quaker State HM oil does not have the Slick 50 in it and it is not on the label of the new oils. They have also quit marketing the special packs. If you see one of the special packs at some chain parts store, it is left over inventory.
And by the way bigmanoncampus, that link you provided is from 1996. We are now in the 21st century in case you missed it, it is 2009.
