I haven't been able to find the links to the QS Enhanced or Ultimate Durability Product Data Sheets anywhere. I know they're out there.

But, with all the recent promo's, I have a small stash of both. _________________________ A Google search of Bitog can be your friend.... Insert search topic(then) site:bobistheoilguy.com Try it.

jstutz Registered: 10/06/08 Posts: 1444 Loc: NC	sorry to hear that. i have run it a few times in my GM trucks and it seemed to do pretty well. This last run that i put the QS HP in my suburban after 7K on previous run on HP and it is dark/ almost black now after 2k miles. Making me nervos becuase in my vehicles it is usually pretty clean up too about 3-4 k miles. Ill probably run it 4 or 5 and change it. Maybe the 7k run was too long and it made things a little dirty.

Billy007 Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 926 Loc: midwest	Originally Posted By: NHHEMI ... I was working under the hood and on a whim I pulled the oil filler tube( it unscrews )just to have a peak and see how the top end looked( you can actually see quite a bit through the hole surprisingly ). I was SHOCKED to see the valve train all varnished up( VERY dark! ). I also saw what appeared to be some deposit build up. This is a completely healthy engine with no fluid leaks or anything else wrong that would lead to either conditon. The oil in the crankcase at the time was approx 5 months old and about 4K worth of use. The engine is not known for being hard on oil as I said and the vehicle is not abused/beat on either... That's not good. While the engine should be fine, varnish with only 4k OCI using a synthetic oil is not good. Maybe Wmart had Q torque on clearance for a reason. To the OP, my vote goes to PP.
