I used Quaker State high milage on '90 626 since it had worn engine seals and had a smoke problem. When the car would start after sitting a long time during a significant temperature change it smoke like crazy. So I started using Quaker State high mileage and it stopped smoking. Any other oil it smokes including Castrol GTX high mileage. So I think the oils are different especially when your engine isn't in perfect condition and has 180000+ miles on it.

I still run Quaker State Higher Mileage Engine in my wifes 93 Sable but am not seeing the same benefits. May try Castrol GTX High Mileage.
