I will NEVER EVER use Valvoline after my experience.. Petty maybe. Scientific..nope. True..Yes.

QSUD-BABY

Could have been a coincidence. LOL!


Yeah I dont know if I would blame the oil on that one.

Used VWB for years--actually no problems; but recently bought QSGB on sale. Vehicles run well with it also... Purchased it cause it was cheaper and recommended. Using QSUD also instead of M1--once again cheaper!! and vehicle running well.Never had a vehicle falter because of the oil that was used.So as long as the QS has good recomendations and good specs. and is cheaper I will continue to use it. Lots of good oil out there--I happen to like QS right now!!!!

+1

QS looks better @ the PQIA site

Never realized there were so many QS lovers on here.

 

[hypervish]

Quaker State.

 

[aquariuscsm]

Valvoline.

 

[MrWideTires]

QS because it's way cheaper

 

[ltslimjim]

^Valvoline because it smells nicer!

 

[Scotty59]

Quaker State, cheaper.....

 

[Zaedock]

I don't usually like these "VS" threads, but if I had a choice between the two, I would pick QSGB.

 

[SS1970chrysler]

I don't use either motor oil, but I do use valvoline brake fluid, ATF, grease, gear oil etc.

 

[Noshow13]

QSGB hands down, used it for years now & still do.

+1 on the Valvoline

 

[linkbelt]

Quaker State!

 

[Maxima97]

I use both. I like Maxlife and QS ultra durability for performance/price

 

[Hermann]

Either one is fine. The only difference I have noticed, is the valvetrain is quieter when using QSGB vs Valvoline WB, and I have used both in my current vehicle 2 times each. IMO these are great 5K oils.

So did Valvoline get about 55%? I remember when it was the most expensive dino @ 1.75.

Valvoline!!
