What kind of car etc? Out of those 2 probably QSUD.

I'm guessing QSUD will be cheaper and easier to find; so I'm going that route.
Kendall's is a good oil but I see no need in fretting over the two.

Why just these 2?
Mobil 1 offers a 0W-20, as does Valvoline SynPower, and they're both commonly available at Auto Zone.

TGMO, Mazda, AFE, PP, Valvoline, Amsoil. All good.

And Wal Mart for a lot better prices than Auto Zone.

If one lined up all the 0w-20's that meet the same spec how would you tell the difference in performance in a motor vehicle? I can answer that. The price.

QSUD 0w20 or Kendall w/Liquid Titanium 0w20...both full synthetics.
No one can answer that question without knowing the application.
With over 4,000 posts you should know that.
If it's for a Toyota, Mazda or Honda for which a 0W-20 is specified then both would be inferior to TGMO or Mazda 0W-20 and I wouldn't buy either.

It's for a Mazda but I'll pass on their close to $9 a quart oil (at my local Stealer). I can get either of these for half that price and PP or M1 for not much more.

heard good things about QSUD and keeping the motor quiet-I'd go with that, even though it's a brand new car
Kendall over QS at the same price.

Flip a coin. As CATERHAM said with over 4000 posts I am starting to think gregk24 hacked your account...lol.
Really, out of the two, both are very good. The QSUD 0w20 has good specs, I would use it over QSUD 5w20 in most PC's any day of the week. Kendall has a very nice add pack...literally, flip a darn coin, you can't lose on those two.

Everyone knows that. But then you must deal with the People of Wal Mart.

Why? I see you don't use it. What makes Kendall "handsdown" better?

id choose kendall if i could buy it locally. i like oils with TI additive. QSUD is always and excellent lube for the money.
how about buy a case of each and then in a year or 2 let us know which one you preferred in the mazda?

I work at a shop that uses Kendall with liquid titanium. I used full syn Kendall 0w20 for 5 oil changes then switched to another brand for 5k then to amsoil for 7,100 k......sent my amsoil in for analysis and the liquid titanium still showed up in my analysis......this tells me that the liquid titanium probably does chemically bond to engine components. Metal wear looked good. If I wasn't using Amsoil currently I would ABSOLUTELY use kendall
