Another oil thread........Quakerstate Syn? Thinking about trying Quakerstate fully synthetic. On sale now @ Benny's for $2.99. Pissed @ Mobil 1 since they changed to the 4qt container from the 5qt container for the same price.
What does everyone think about the Quakerstate. I know it's not a normal one you see on here.

I asked about German Castrol at a couple places and they looked at me like i didnt know what i was talking about. People in these stores around here can be quite a joke.

Penzoil Platinum and "Q" full synthetic oils are about as close to being the same as you can be. Same type 3 base stock made by Shell lubricants. Pennzoil and Quaker are both owned by Shell. And the differences you see are pretty much in the marketing. Both are good oils and the differences being, "Q" uses molybednum as its main friction modifier, and Platinum uses what they call an "Adaptive Molecule." so basically the food coloring is different.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm Not to start any **** here . But most all oil is **** ....... I understand i am so gonna get thrashed for this , but 16 0z of oil yeilds 11.2 oz of solvent? Doesnt that make u all wonder? I am not a sales man or telling any of u diehards what to use in ur cars . I mean i am using mobile 1 just because i didnt order quatum blue in time . If ya got time check out b and d automotive all one word. He makes oil for airlines and military . Oh he has few offshore oil rig accounts . Catapillar doesnt like this stuff to well nor does the big three . Seems after few 100,000 mile they cant find any wear on there parts . So it kinda hard to sell new parts when the old ones are ok. He cost cat i think it was 94 million last year ........... but just throwing it out there use what ya like .....

Well that's interesting. I took a look around but didn't see anything about his oil. Maybe someone should get some of it over to bobistheoilguy and have him test it out...

I don't care for quakerstate. Their synthetic is probly ok but their regular oil I woudln't use. I've seen a few engines taken apart with quaker state being used and they are full of sludge!!! After 3000 miles the oil looks new still. In my mind it's leaving all the contamination behind inside the motor.

Point being that name brand oils rarely if ever cause sludging issues, There chemistry departments are paid too well.
