Just as an updated piece of information on Quaker State motor oils to offer=
; I have a 1985 Toyota Supra with`186,000 miles. The original owner was a =
fireman, the second owner a very good friend of mine, and I am the third ow=
ner. My friend Richard inquired as to what oil the first owner used when h=
e bought the car and the fireman stated, "Quaker State since new". Richar=
d continued using Quaker State and so did I. At around 165,000 miles I too=
k off the cam covers so that I could re-do the wrinkle finish in crinkle bl=
ack. They had become a little tired looking and Fred Thomas had graciously=
given me his time and shared his expertise so I learned how to do them in =
powder coating. Inside the cam boxes there was absolute absence of any wea=
r, even scratches or rub marks of any kind on the cam lobes, and that was p=
retty darned amazing to me. True, Japanese steel has shown me over and ove=
r again that the metallurgists and design engineers really are masters in t=
heir crafts as I've owned several Toyota and Honda cars. That said, the su=
rfaces in this engine showed no sign at all of sludge or even a dirty kind =
of discoloration on non-mating surfaces. I was used to the varnish-kind-of=
-look that Castrol gives on non-mating surfaces. This engine looked like W=
esson oil in a clean pan on your stove. I almost licked it to see if it wa=
s real! (almost).
Just a data point to anyone who may be using today's formulations of Quaker=
State and might question that decision. Oh, and being 61 years old and fr=
om NE Ohio I remember well the warnings of staying away from Quaker State a=
s a youth. Given the testimonies on this list it would seem that was sound=
advice.
