is Q.S., pennzoil, and Shell oil all the same formula??? They are owned by the same parent company so I wonder if the formula is still the same, and if we can just choose between whatever is on sale. Shell is usually sold cheaply at Costco stores....So are they all the same?

Thanks.
Pennzoil,QS and Shell are all Sopus products.While they are not of the same "formula" they are all excellent products.

i'm suspect of them being the same "additives" or formula aswell...

Well oil analysis indicates otherwise.
Many use different basestocks also but still end up with an excellent product.
