Why Synthetics?

Synthetic Motor Oil is Damn Good For Your Engine, And Damn Good For Your Wallet

Before we start with the fancy lingo, let’s just get down to basics: our synthetic motor oil protects your engine, and less wear and tear means more protection for your engine and your budget in the long run.

Now, let’s get all science-y. Every time your car runs, it produces contaminants—and these contaminants, such as soot, carbon, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, collect in your motor oil and are run through your engine. Over time, dirty motor oil can act as an abrasive, cause corrosion, and create sludge, diminishing performance and engine life.

We pride ourselves on tough oil for the toughest cleaning jobs. For even better protection, Quaker State Ultimate Durability^® Full Synthetic motor oil is specially formulated with a fuel-saving additive to reduce friction and help increase fuel economy¹. Better fuel economy leaves more money in your pocket at the end of the day, while providing superior protection against the formation of sludge and other harmful deposits².

Whether you’re taking the best care of your older, reliable vehicle, or driving a newer car that requires synthetic motor oil, always use and change your oil according to manufacturer specifications.
