in what regard does it look "so much better"?
Optimal oils are application specific, only fully determined by full oil analysis.
If QS sells for the same price as M1, but isnt PAO/ester, it may not be worth the $$$ from a base materials/feedstock standpoint.

I saw this oil for less than $4.00 at my local Walmart. It's a decent Group III oil.
i was looking at the quaker state synthetic, in an autozone seel s for $5.99 a quart. the thing is, its a clear see through bottle. the oil looks darker, that lets say mobile 1 synthetic, which looks pure gold/amber colored. i had heard many times, that quakler state is refined oil, with a new additivepackage put in it, then sold on shelf.
ziggy I think what your trying to say is that is re-refined oil. Its not but the syn is a group III refined oil.
uhuh

So with that you can come on and say legitimately and factual that it's not? who's passing the KA here?
i don't know,you don't know,we don't know so until "we know" i'd refrain from incorrect statements in the future. This site is about facts.

I ran 2 fills of QS- Torque Power that I got on sale at Wal-mart, in my LR3. Ran just as good as the M1 5w-30 and even the Castrol 0w-30. No scientific data, to back this up, but it was fine lugging around a 5,600LB truck with family and gear. The $3 a quart made it a real good choice!

I've used QS dino and syn for a long time. It's always served me well. However, despite being a QS guy, I have other oils in my stash that work just as well. When it comes down to it, I typically shop (or hunt) by price. SOPUS typically has a lot of rebates.
Also, and please take no offense, but I have to say that this question from a 5+ year member is quite surprising.
