Like mobil 1, the quakerstate product is a PAO/ester blend.

Unless you can get it at some significantly low price, its not worth it.
For the same money the Mobil 1 product is better.

Personally I'd run a diesel synthetic oil. Chevrons delo synthetic 5w40
is great for this. Its cheap ( relative to other synthetics ) and
performs VERY well. Its an all fleet oil and is designed to be used in
gas or diesel engines. The higher level of detergents means that gas
engines stay cleaner then they would on a normal SJ gasoline rated
synthetic.
