Was in Mexico for the holidays.
While there I changed the oil on the vehicle we use there.
1995 Honda Passport V6.
I went to local auto parts and bought oil.
I asked for 20W-50- and this is what they had.
Quaker State 20W-50 'Racing oil'. (marketing I guess????).
I drained the old stuff- which was 20W-50 QS. normal stuff.
I opened the new 5qt jug and saw the oil was RED!!! what the?
I thought Trans Fluid? nope- didnt smell like trans fluid.
I Opened the 1 qt jug--- also red.
they both had the aluminum seal....
so I used the oil.
I eventually went to the QS Mexican web site- and found the MSDS for the oil.
It does indeed say the oil is RED in color.
What do you guys know about this oil? Im used to seeing amber colored oil.
Not red.
that engine on the bottle-- also has 2 fans!
