I remember during the clear bottle era that some of the quarts on the shelf were a darker color than others, even when they were the same oil and same weight, such as two quarts of QS TorquePower 5w30 for instance. Wonder if it was the UV exposure and that the lighter color bottles were on the shelf for less time.

This was exactly what I observed when stocking shelves at the time.

Exactly ... Just like I would use Pennzoil, Formula Shell, Castrol, Valvoline/NAPA, Chevron Supreme/Havoline, Peak, etc, in a heartbeat.

QS is good oil.
Plenty of calcium and moly.
What's not to like?

So that way you will get exclusively synthetic oils and (likely) synthetic blends from Pennzoil, and then conventionals and (likely) conventional high mileage offerings from Quaker State.
I don't know how much truth there is to all this, but I guess we'll be finding out eventually. I personally haven't ran any QS products in my vehicles before so can't speak for their performance abilities.
Hi jonies3 - we're happy to report your intel is NOT correct. Quaker State does not plan on discontinuing any products in the Quaker State lineup. In fact, late last year we began producing new all-green packaging for the entire lineup. -The Quaker State Team

I would certainly consider trying it again once I see the dexos1 Gen 2 logo on Quaker State Ultimate Durability jugs.
Curious to see how much calcium it has left at that point!

Quaker State Ultimate Durability lineup has the potential to be the mother of all lineups if you would highlight your low noack numbers.
Please what is the noack for Quaker State Ultimate Durability 10w30 and Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5w20.
Thanks

The Pennzoil all yellow and Quaker State all green packaging are amongst the worst marketing / branding decisions I've seen in a long time.
Seeing them in person in store is bemusing and sends you immediately looking for another brand.
Out of the two, Pennzoil is worse.

Quaker State Ultimate Durability 10w30 NOACK - 5.0

Excellent product for an ILSAC oil.

Smooth, quiet, and great fuel economy with that big hit of Moly.
Pennzoil High Mileage 10w30 is pretty good as well...SN but NOT ILSAC!

Wow, that is impressive. And the Viscosity Index is 157, similar to some 5w30s.
Any idea of the HTHSv? The KV100 of 10.3 suggests it'll be on the low side but you can never be sure.
If I didn't have a stash to get through, I would probably run this oil.

Yup...And the 200+ PPM of Moly makes all the difference. HTHS will be around 3.0 for Quaker State Ultimate Durability and near 3.5 for the Pennzoil High Mileage 10w30 and both should be pretty shear stable.
