Could it be going semi-syn?



My first one....
 
First post, but been reading these forums for a while now and haven't seen any one talk about this subject: Quaker State Warranty. Have a new Accord, V6 and must use 5W-20. Anyway, the local quickie lube mistakedly put Quaker State in it even though I've been using Pennz. What the [censored], no problem because the wife averages about 1K miles a week in it. Well, a week later I get this pamphlet from Quaker State saying that if I continue using their oil, and document it and change every 4K, I will stay enrolled in their 10 year/250K lubrication limited warranty and did not mention anything about FILTERS. WHAT??? Read the fine print and basically if any part of this engine fails ( pistons, oil pump, timing chain, cam, rods, crankshaft, etc. etc.) they will replace the engine for free. I have NEVER heard of this but was well surprised. Now, I am not, nor have I ever been a QS man. BUT, you got to think these guys got some big 'nards to put out that kind of warranty, IN WRITING. [Eek!] The warranty card has the vehicle VIN and serial number on it.
My question: have any of you come across this? Is it junk? Another question on the 5W-20 never ending saga: No one ever talks about or brings up QS 5W-20. Is this stuff that bad? What is the general feelings or facts from the oil brethrens???? [I dont know]



My first question....LOL....man, oh man, have I've grown since 2003
