They probably won't know what it is even if they have it but if you look around the store you might find it -it will look something like the bottle in this thread and will state "Made in Germany" on the back.

I heard a rumor that walmarts synthetic oil is actually Quaker State synthetic oil . Does anyone know if this is true ? If so , $3 bucks a quart seems like a good deal !

Quakers Peak performance conventional oil is no different than any others, they use the same high qaulity bases and detergents that all the other brands use. And it has not been responsible for any sludge issues since the late 70's, Same with Pennzoil. Sludging is usually a result of owner/ opperator neglect. People are quick to blame the last product they put in the engine for all of there problems and quickly forget that there was a few times in there vehicles life that they ran the oil up to 7500 miles and overheated a few times, or the time they were strapped for cash and bought the 1.59 OIL at the parts store?
Point being that name brand oils rarely if ever cause sludging issues, There chemistry departments are paid too well.

Its amazing how many twenty year olds on here were tearing down motors in the seventies.
