Thanks. I've heard stories about Quaker State but I don't know if that holds true anymore. Having the engine look that clean on the inside does make me feel better about the extra expense of the synthetic oil but like I said before, I cant say if it is wearing any better. I haven't done an oil analysis, so other than the visual difference, I can't say the oil is any better than conventional or blended oils.
