Valvoline oil is JUNK. I work for a place that changes oil and we do about 100 cars a day. Cars that come in that had been using Valvoline, I always notice that the filters are all gummed up and the oil gets real thick and takes longer to draing verse others. Our main oil is Mobil and from what I have seen it is one of the best oils out there. I personally don't use it, I use Kendall 20-50 and think that it's a pretty good oil too. Also amongs all the other oils, I usually see that Pennzoil is'nt that bad. Castrol GTX is almost like a Valvoline but it gets really dirty fast. I don't see alot of people using Quaker State anymore so it's hard to compare it. This is just my opinion based on what I see everyday.
