QSAD 5W20 VOA Bottled 2/25/16

I would stick with this oil for the time being since you have a VOA baseline going forward for subsequent UOA's.

Formula's changes quite often due to supply and demand of base oils and additive packages.

now you have me thinking .........................................................................


I've seen where you mentioned that. Have you had any problems with leaking gaskets or seals? Does the QSGB seem to be keeping the engine leak free in the higher mileage/older age?

If you get back to see this, I'd like to get your response in the matter. I know this oil will get the job done in wear protection but curious about how well it treats the seals/gaskets in the long run. Thanks.

I think you've mentioned that formula's change more often than you change underwear....

Yeah, I think I'm going to stick with the QSGB. I'm working on my fourth oci with it and like you said, I have a fresh voa to work with now. Already have a winter oci tested with this formula and working on a warm weather oci now.

Sounds like a good plan.

Disappointed. Sorry to say, but between this and ruining Defy, I have nothing for QS anymore.

You have no idea how hard that was to type. This was my jam, my thing, and they screwed it. Now, I'm sure it's just fine, and I'm not bashing it, but it no longer has anything going for it to make it desirable. That's why I've been hunting for something to replace it.

Try PYB

Car51, I have been considering Pennzoil SAE 30 for the Cruze, but it'll be so long before it's due for a change, who knows?

Well, the vintage 1972&3 stuff my grandpa and dad gave me is cleaning out some fine grit in my 4.0 in my ole' 97 jeep. I even mixed some of that 20w20 PYB with some current SN PYB HD 30 for a summer "blend"

 

[Red91]

Funny you mention that, If I don't run a 30, I might opt for some 20W-20.
