quaker state ..........i was alive back then and using them all. (paraffin-based) oils loaded with wax. when i saw alaskan t/a's post i laughed. more engines died at the hands of that junk than covid! you could

Is Pennzoil and Quaker (the cheap stuff) still paraffin based?

I think those problems went away long ago. IIRC, Pennzoil 10w40 had the worst reputation at the time. FWIW, that was the oil I used at the time, I never observed any problems or sludge from it but I'm a bit of a maintenance nut. I have increased the oil change schedule on the newer stuff up to ~2500, 3000 miles so I'm getting a bit less obsessed these days... but now that I work from home the 300 gets an oil change every year whether it needs it or not... wrench laugh2

LOL!

I know some guys from college that work at SouthWest Research Institute in San Antonio and they are telling me Pennzoil is a top quality oil now. They test oils at SWRI. Another friend used to work at the Mobil oil lab in Dallas and he told me not to use 10W40 as it has a lot of viscosity improvers (VI) in them and they break down to 10W30 pretty quickly.

Yep, it was always quaker state here that did that sort of sludge stuff.
I'm a believer in timely oil changes and also sticking with one brand.

i have owned 4 new rams since 2011.. i put over 150,000 miles on each or more .... . moble 1 extended performance with 1 qt of valvoline 20-50 hi zinc flat tappet oil. never had any issues. i changed the oil @ 15,000 miles always! all 4 have broken exhaust manifold bolts just after the warranty was out ! only 1 had the bad lifter issue and it was over 150k miles and i beat the hell out of it. never added any oil between changes ever!

In all my years of shoppin' at da depot, no matter the store, I can confidently say that they are not expediters at restocking shelves. YMMV.
