Slick 50 Full Synthetic Oil

[gedcruise]

Does anyone remember this stuff?
I bought a decent stash from Big Lots back in the late 'eighties, I think it was.
The oil was a 10W-30, and I used it in one of our '86 Civic Wagons for a few OCIs.
I am thinking that it must have been a Grp IV, since the hydrocracked Grp IIIs did not yet exist.
Does anyone else remember this oil, or know anything about it?

Nope, all I remember is the quaker state with slick 50 mixed in it.

Nope onlt the "Slick 50" oil additive long ago. Maybe it was offered in your state.

Not only do I remember it but I have some in both 5w30 and 10w30 SH variety. I've never done a VOA but I suspect it is moly rich due to its dark color straight from the container.
I used to have product data sheets but I can no longer find them.

When and where did you buy it? Have you ever actually used any? As I recall it came in a yellower than Penzoil yellow bottle.

Correction: I only have it in 5w30. I bought it at the old Auto Palace when they sold out to AutoZone. They had it on closeout for $2 a quart. I'm sure it's PAO because there was no Group 3 back then. I used it in my 3.1 Buick a few times and once in summer in my wifes Honda which spec's 5w20. Both cars ran very nice on it. I never went past 5K with it. I misplaced the data sheets when I moved but I think it was in the 10.5 range at 100*C. You are right about the yellow bottle.
