Hi Jim,

I ran Pennzoil in my engines for the 25yrs and never gave it much thought as that's what my parents used. I then noticed that my engines were using oil all of a sudden from the last change. I then switched over too Quakerstate and the oil usage stopped. 1qt in 500miles with Pennzoil, 1qt in 1000miles with Quakerstate. This for the Dodge as it used 1qt/1000miles since new.

I used Quakerstate for the next ten years without any usage problems. Then on my last oil change before buying my F350, I noticed I was once again using 1qt/500miles.

In the mean time I bought a 2000 Chevy car. Used Quakestate on the first change and noticed my oil was really black and smelled of gas. 3rd change was the same. First change with factory oil was dark amber with no gas smell. I think I have a problem.

Well I bought the F350 PSD and decided Chevron Delo is what I would use as it was highly rated for diesel use.

So I thought I'd try Chevron Surpreme in the Chevy. First change was dark but no gas smell. Second change was dark amber and no gas smell just like the factory oil. I also noticed I picked up 2mpg on the first two tanks and 4mpg from then on.

Fluke on the increase of fuel mileage? Told my son about it and he tried CS in his Ranger. He got 2mpg increase the first change.

I thought this might put a spin on your thoughts if different oils can make a difference although there all rated to do the job. I myself didn't think oil brand was all that important until my experience with Chevron Surpreme oil.
