Quaker State

[Tyleryac]

I am due for an Oil change on my Grand Cherokee.

What are the general feelings on Qukaer State oil?

 

[skyactiv]

It's popularity has declined kinda like RC Cola.

 

[cptbarkey]

its fine, use it, bathe in it, cook with it, rub your body with it, enjoy.

From what I can tell by reading some articles I found by googling "Is Quaker State a good oil?" Quaker State has mixed reviews and seems to be an average run of the mill product.I would look at the synthetic blend called Defy. The price on that oil seems to be pretty good, and it is a high mileage oil. So I would go for it. This is just my opinion based on my limited knowledge and what I could find from others comments.

It's a good SOPUS oil - I wouldn't hesitate to use it.

Use QSGB with confidence. Still a great oil at a great price....if you can find it on special.

Pretty similar to Pennzoil at a much lower price. Quaker State synthetic is my go-to for most of my oil changes.

I think it would be more productive to list "bad" oils. You know the ones that will melt your engine into a block of smoldering pile.

The Pennzoil label usually has a better basestock and stronger additive package over Quaker State.

I use it and like it in the Focus. Member Garak has used plenty of QSGB

A Texbook conventional oil. API certified, use with utmost confidence. In their 2011 assessment at PQIA
the PYB had high moly moderate boron whereas the QSGB had moderate moly and high boron - otherwise they were nearly indistinguishable. The Formulation likely has evolved since.

I've used QS with no issue.

QS is very good. I started using it in my Dad's Grand Prix for the last 2 changes and am pleased.

Me too. No issues or drama.
Much better than City Star or Bullseye.

Your Jeep will like Quaker State, top quality oil often priced close to store brands.

 

[dlundblad]

I personally like the QS/ Pennzoil horror stories. It keeps the people scared and the prices low.

 

[mclasser]

From what I've read on here about SOPUS, QS is more for anti-wear while Pennzoil is more for cleaning. It's a fine oil that'll serve your car well.

 

[bbhero]

Exactly

A very good product for good prices. The green bottle is a great price and the full synthetic is a deal at $21.97 at wally world.. I like Havoline and its priced in the same neighborhood or even just a bit cheaper.

 

[SrDriver]

Have used it for several years and nothing blew up in the process.

Did the OP say what year his Jeep vehicle is? Defy is an SL rated oil, which means it should not be used in cars built after 2004.
