Has anyone had any experience with Quaker State in their gas engines?

If I am going to pay the big bucks for synthetic, I go with a full synthetic, like Mobil 1.

Selecting an oil is like selecting a way to save your soul from eternal damnation......there are lots of strong opinions, but it boils down to faith. Perhaps even in the Kierkegaardian sense. You just gotta believe.

I use Quaker State only in door hinges - and then am sure to change it often.

The only synthetic on which I've been able to view reliable specs is Mobil 1. Specs aside, it's known to work as adverised, and along with Shell, Mobil is the premier lube maker in the US (probably the world - as is Shell).
