Quaker state full synthetic?

Just wondering if anyone's tried the Quaker State full synthetic oil? I'm going to give it a shot. I'm going to see how it stacks up against the other premium syn. oils out there.

I'm using there 5w30 now. My oil pressure at idle is around 38 and was around 42 with castrol 5w30 so my guess is it runs alittle thinner.

Right on, isn't lower oil pressure at idle good? I'm also using Tufoil, stuff is amazing. My slight oil consumption is gone and there's a slight increase in idle speed. (low friction)
