What about Mario Andretti ... and Havoline? or whoever used to endorse Wolfs
Head ...or the guy who liked that purple stuff ... or (name of other has-been
driver) ... and (obscure brand name oil)? Oh yeah, I do remember a number of
years ago that there was a proven bad batch of Quaker State. Due to some
refinery goof or whatever, this particular batch was practically turning to
sludge while still in the can/bottle. But that was a one-time thing as I recall.
I mean, all the years I was straining Quaker State through FRAM filters ...
omigod, howzit that I'm still ALIVE? :-)
