Yeah, the last time I used Pennsoil, the engine blew up, and the hood popped up

Tried a Franken 50/50 mix and my car fell into 2 pieces

Hello DarthDuty, same company (Pennzoil and Quaker State), but two totally different brands and formulations! We feel that our Pennzoil Platinum Synthetics and Quaker State Ultimate Durability Full Synthetics are both top-shelf motor oils – so you really can’t go wrong using either one of them.
That being said, they are indeed two different products/formulations: Pennzoil Synthetics emphasize the cleaning up of up to 40% of the sludge in its 1st oil change, and continues to clean in the 2nd oil change. Quaker State Synthetic Motor Oil emphasizes that it has 2x better wear protection than wear standards by top American and Japanese manufactures.
You really can’t go wrong with either product! - The Pennzoil Team

Genafishbeck, if you had a choice to make between the two which one would you pick? Pennzoil platinum with pure plus or Quaker State Ultimate Durability?

That would depend on your vehicle deven! What do you drive (year, make, model, mileage) and what are your typical driving habits (highway, local, etc)?

I have no problem with any of those oils, and used a lot of QSGB over the years, and PYB fairly recently in my G37.
I agree that they're essentially interchangeable. I have used QSGB, PYB, and Formula Shell, and I like all three. The synthetic and synthetic blend SOPUS oils are excellent too, of course. Also, the engine runs very smoothly and quietly with these oils. A person can't go wrong in choosing any of these. I know there is no "best oil", but out of all the motor oils I have used over the years, the SOPUS oils mentioned above are definitely my preferences.

Yep, and up here, for conventional, it's hard to beat Formula Shell from the SOPUS distributor if you don't feel like chasing sales elsewhere.
I like pennzoil for cleanliness Quaker State is good also but does not seem to clean as well... Saw this first hand. The 5w30 pennzoil platinum seems thinner than i would like it to be ..The Ultra is no where to be found at a reasonable price but when i tried the ultra i got a great uoa.
