I'm a long way from a petrochemist, just have some observations. Naturally tainted with my own biases and experience. I was a Quaker State man, HDX 30 (late FCI 30 after the Pennsoil merger). Only new engine I was ever in that started on Quaker State was a 256 cid Ford. Opened the valve cover at 3000 hrs and it was a clean as a new one (2x per year oil change, about 200 hrs). Switched to Shell Rotella 15w 40 in '01. Used it in a new engine and then was in the engine at about 300 hrs. Found some sludging. Now using Chevron Delo 400 and really like it, cant tell any difference in performance. Time will tell about the insides of the engine. I did buy some Mobil something (15w40, non synthetic) at the local Sams House of Horrors. Seemed they were discontinuing the quarts and was able to get several cases at $1 a qt. Figured it was worth it.
