I wouldn't use any product of QS from what I've seen. Their oils don't clean at all compared to Castrol or mobil 1. I use to work at a chevy dealer, they used QS. The few engines they had to take apart were nothing but sludge. I couldn't believe it. My s10 has had Mobil 1 for the last 100k, I had to pull the oil pan to replace the gasket and the pan/engine were 100% spotless.
I know I'm comparing synthetic to conventoinal oil. But if they can't produce a excellent conventional oil I woudln't trust their synthetic either. I'm sure they protect ok, but qs doesn't clean. I read about pennzoil somewhere on the net, and it didn't sound like it got a very good rating. Just my thoughts

IDK about their synthetics but if its anything like their conventional oils I wouldn't use it for anything. (Not even a sqeaky door hinge!!). Every motor I've ever torn down with QS or Penz was full of sludge.

I use to run a 69 Camaro with a 427ci BB at the track and the only thing I ever put in it was Quaker State racing oil. You could pull the valve covers and there no sludge. It was so clean you could eat off it. Had a MonteCarlo SS with the 305 smog engine in it ran Quaker State in it also. Pulled the valve covers and it was Sludge City worst I've ever seen. In a car without emissions some oil is fine but put that oil in a PVC smogger and its gonna ruin it.

The "I've seen engines..." comments are rediculous. There is not ONE oil on the market today that is made the way it was five years ago. Not one. The gap between best and worst is fairly close. Run whatever is on sale.
