In my local paper is an O'Reilly ad offering a maximum of 6 quarts of Quaker State oil (Q Torque and Q Advance) for /free/ after rebate. Each quart is regularly $5.69.
Q Torque and Q Advance are the good stuff, the synthetic Quaker State.
A $35 value totally free after mail-in rebate. I get the feeling O'Reilly stores across the country might be running this promo. Get it while you can!

The Q Advanced only has ACEA A1/B1 approval, which is an obsolete standard, the A5 approval for the 5W30 appears to be inappropriate, the HTHS (high temperature high shear) viscosity of the 10w30 is only 3.2 CentiPoise which is inadequate protection.
The Q Torquepower doesn't even list any ACEA approvals nor do they list a HTHS viscosity. Might be okay for lubing roller skates...
Larry, Quaker State's Q Advance and Q Torque are API SM-rated, the latest and best API rating. Much better than SL, for newbies here who might not know.
Their oil is not going to trash your engine, like aarcuda pretends. In fact, the latest independent, scientific tests show engines experience more engine wear with Mobil 1 oil than with Pennzoil Platinum and Quaker State Q Advance--about 67 percent more engine wear. Just so you don't think I'm favoring Pennzoil, let me say that Halvoline, Amsoil, Motorcraft, Castrol Syntec, and others also show much less wear than Mobil 1.
And yes, we've mentioned before that since about 2003, the Dutch company Shell has owned both Pennzoil and Quaker State. However, I'd rather give my money to Dutch Shell than to Exxon.
In my opinion, we're paying billions for ExxonMobil's war in Iraq; why should we increase their profits by also buying their oil?
I admit I have been using Mobil 1 this past year (and it's in my engine right now), but now that I know Pennzoil Platinum is better than Mobil 1, I'm dumping the Mobil 1 at my next oil change. I'll be saving money and I won't be supporting their war that's costing us billions of dollars and thousands of lost American lives.
I already bought a 5-quart jug of Platinum last night to support our troops :-)
O'Reilly Auto Parts is in about half the U.S. states, including Missouri, where I live. In fact, its headquarters is in Springfield, Missouri. If anyone's ever watched "American Hot Rod" on TV, the show about legendary California hot-rod maker Boyd Coddington, you will have seen O'Reilly banners hung in Boyd's garage :-) You also see Amsoil banners in his garage, too. And Reeses peanut butter cups also sponsor Boyd Coddington hot rods. Only the best for Boyd ;-)
O'Reilly's first store was in 1957, in Springfield,Missouri.Last year, I was looking for new windshield wiper blades for my 1978 Dodge van.I went to a NAPA and AutoZone store, the stores didn't have the blades in stock.Then I went to a local O'Reilly store about two miles from me.They had one pair of blades in stock.
