This would explain a lot. QS is great stuff & they're not shy about promoting it has the lowest wear #'s.
I'm pretty impressed the the 5w30 MRV numbers!
The SHELL and Quaker State SN/GF-5 5w-20 synthetic are quite similar . As for the others little more of a difference .
Pour Point :
SHELL : -49
Quaker: -45
MRV Visc. cP (c) :
SHELL : 9,300 ( -35 )
Quaker: 9,600 ( -35 )
Flashpoint :
Shell : 440.6 ( 227 C )
Quaker: 440
Both P.D.S. were posted same date of JUNE , 2010 .
Here's both for comparison
SHELL full synthetic SN/GF-5 :

Lower is better.
Thanks . You go SHELL
. Got some SHELL synthetic 5w-20 (SN) in waiting for upcoming O.C. for colder weather . Was $3.99 a quart @ BJs Wholesale . Now they have it for $3 a quart ( case of 6 ) . Never fails

Seems highly unlikely at QSUD's price point.

One thing I don't like about QSUD in the 5 quart jug is there is no foil seal on the top, just the plastic cap.

Polyolefins was Shell's listing for HXVI in the past.

I've only run Ultimate Durability 5w30 in my 2017 Elantra 2.0 for the last two oil changes, but so far I like it. $19/5qt jug at Wally World isn't too bad. And Rural King about a 1/4 mile from there has the Fram Ultra filters for $7.99, I believe, which is about $3 cheaper than Walmart is now.

*Correct ... The Elantra Fram Ultra is $11.00 at WM now .

In my 2018 F150 w 5.0L I have tried Motorcraft 5w20 blend, Motorcraft 5w30 synthetic, T6 5w40, and so far QSUD 10w30 has been the quietest oil I have used so far. For just under 18 bucks a jug I think I have found a winner.
Not that this provides any scientific information at all, but for those who has the new 5.0 the QSUD is a really good choice.

MRV is a viscosity test related to pumpability for oil, and for a given grade (which determines the temperature at which the MRV and CCS tests are performed) a lower viscosity means that the oil can be pumped more easily at whatever cold temp at which it is measured.
For a 5WXX, MRV is tested at -35C and CCS is at -30C...for a 0WXX, the MRV temp is -40C and the CCS temp is -35C.

I keep hearing 2017-18 5.0's have a problem with oil consumption................do you have an issue with yours ??
And your correct with the QSUD, it's a great oil ðŸ‘
