    I have seen at my local walmart a 5qt jug Quaker State synthetic running for $20.67. Since I'm a fan of Mobil 1 oil in my car/truck I was wondering how the "Q" stacks up against M1. I use the 5W-30 grade. Anyone used this synthetic oil in your cars/trucks and what do you think??? If responces are favorable I might try it in my truck the next OCI.

    if they are the same in quality oils i would have save $5.00 (mobile 1 $26.99) by switching over to Quaker State. Then i can use that 5 bucks to buy the Purolator PureOne oil filter....wah..la Synthetic oil change for $27.00 bucks.

    Get a Toyota oil filter instead. The Purolator isn't as good as the company makes it sound...

    I ran SuperTech in my previous trucks and ran the crap out of them and never had a single problem. All the name brands are good and whats much more important than brand is changing it at the proper intervals. Last I heard SuperTech was made for WalMart by Valvoline so it's not like it's some imported crap from china.

    Source?
    Around 2002, I heard that the Tundra was made for Toyota by FoMoCo.
    Not everything that we hear is true.
    A WalMart employee is NOT a credible source of information as to the origin of his products.

    Supertech is most likely the same as any other "bulk" oil packaged for a company that doesn't actually refine or blend oil... supplied by the lowest bidder.

    I'd imagine QS syn is good stuff. I use M-1 because I'm not too worried about 5bux spent every 5K miles on my 30K truck.
