So, I tried google searching this oil and came up with no VOA or pdf at all. Anyone know much about it and is it similar to Pennzoils "GOLD" synblend? Thanks in advance
Very similar to Pennzoil Gold in fact.... Viscosity index of 168 for QSED to 169 for Pennzoil Gold, CCS of 4180 for QSED to 4130 for Pennzoil Gold at -30°C, Pour points for both are -45°C and 100°C viscosity is 11.0 to 11.3 for both. Both obviously are Dexos approved, API SN and ILSAC GF-5. Really hard to see much difference between the two Captain
I wonder if this is a "paper" oil or not. Some of my sources indicate that it was replaced by Defy and the same UPC numbers were used. Yet, I have seen a sheet (though not the product) and some retailers indicate it's available.
That's interesting. I haven't seen it here for ages and ages, since Defy came out, basically, and the old stock cleared out. I'll have to keep my eyes open, though.
No stats, but I use it. Only because it is the cheapest Dexos approved oil I can find. I could go on in typical BITOG fashion and say that my car loves it, and that it never burns any but I won't. I doubt it will cause any oil/engine related failure.

$.20 less for gold.
Wouldn't want to break the bank.
Buy the 5 quart QS and 1 quart Gold. Then you'd save $.70!
I almost did. But couldnt quite make myself mix what could be two different products.
For what its worth I believe they are extremely closely related.
Supertech Synthetic was also slightly more expensive.
As you can tell Ive slowly come to the conclusion that the same approvals means functionally equivalent.
