I spoke to customer service at 866-707-6737 who claimed that there is a limit of one per vehicle, and when I explained that my vehicles were older or had more miles than their "warranty" accepted, she said that the limit would be one per household. I did get her to say that the limit was "one per vehicle" and then when I explained that I had 5 vehicles that were not eligible for the warranty, her tune changed to "one per household" and she did admit that the form does not say "one per household"
She did offer the following address for complaints:

In ECON 102, which you missed, we also learned that, when unrestrained competition continues to drive prices down, it dilutes the buying power of consumers because of wage stagnation (best case) or unemployment (as is very often the case, as jobs are shipped overseas to reduce cost). So... consumers don't really win in the long run. But, the short game (which many companies are playing) is great for consumers. Just wait until the fat lady sings, though.
ECON 102 class dismissed.

One can keep oil for a decade or more. Stock up when they are free, unless you rely on bicycle for 100% of your commute. Thanks OP!

Any idea if you can qualify for more than one rebate? Reason I ask is that it says one rebate per vehicle in the fine print on the rebate form. I would like to get a rebate for each of our vehicles. However, without purchasing the actual oil change itself (versus just the jugs of oil) for each vehicle I could see the rebate being denied as there is no way for the rebate company to track things.

May I ask where else is this oil sold? WalMart is too far away and there is no Menards around. Thanks.

Autozone near me has it for $7.29/quart. This is insane when compared to WalMart.

This is a great deal for full synthetic. Does it matter if one was to switch between different synthetic brand oils, i.e. Mobil1, Castrol, Royal Purple or should I stick with one brand?

I buy whatever brand is on sale or close to free after rebate. There is no problem with switching brands IMHO.

Absolutely, synthetic is fine, there are no issues with that engine. I ran my 1996 I30t (Maxima clone to a large degree)on synth through 113,000 miles from new, after a 10,000 mile break in on regular oil. That engine was just as tight mechanically as new when I sold it, even with a significant proportion of stop and go city miles. There was absolutely no sludge under the oil cap (use a flashlight down the neck; it can be scary in there). No oil leaks either.
I now have a G37 that's about to be switched to synthetic. Its engine is an enlarged version of the Maxima engine.
Not that I'd use Quaker State. It is owned by the same company as Pennzoil, and their synthetic is what I use.

I've had problem with WalMart receipt before, it doesn't indicate Quaker State Brand and Type of oil (which is required in the rebate form), the receipt only shows a generic code. I'll try a different WalMart this time.

The rebate details also mentions that the rebate is valid only for vehicles that reside in the 50 US States and District of Columbia. I guess the vehicle can reside in RI but you can't... Hmmm...

You can change brands everytime it will not matter, even can mix if you don't have all the same.

I've done QS rebates with WM reciepts and never had a problem. I would think the SKU number would be the same at all wal-marts so they could tell what you bought.

Two questions
If you have a car that tracks oil life and tells you when it's time to change the oil, do you still need to change it when it says or do you just reset it and remember to chenge the oil the next time it tells you to?
What about the filters? Should you still change the filter every 3000 miles?
Shelf in the garage is beginning to strain from all the FAR oil the past few months; but between the 3 cars, motorcycle, lawn tractor, and lawnmower; it'll be used in a timely manner...
Thanks OP!

Try the "excuse" of saving our environment. If that's not enough try the adage that oil leaks will get worse not magically heal.

If you do a lot of short 3-5 miles trips, then change to oil every 3000-3500 miles to avoid water condensation from corroding the engine. Those who drive at least 30 continuous minutes a week don't need to replace the oil till 5000-7000 miles. The hot oil will boil-off the water during extended driving. Always replace the filter when you change the oil. It's a small additional cost.

Seriously, and not meant to be critical, but if you don't know the answer to this question perhaps you should not be changing your own oil. Unless you are driving a diesel truck or car or in a climate like the Saudi desert, a full synthetic should be good for 15K, a semi-sythentic for 10K and an SAE spec oil for 6k. Modern engines with superior build quality and unleaded fuel are the major reason for the extended duty cycles and the additional heat, speed and power of newer cars are why synthetic offer superior range and lubrication. That being said, the durability benefits of synthetics will likely not show up until after 80K miles. Also consider the environmental impact and independence of using less oil and fuel.

If your car is running excessively hot, you have a problem that needs to be addressed immediately and one that dino vs synthetic will not and is not intended to "fix" or delay the inevitable. You likely have a failing oil pump, plugged pick up or the pick up is not working properly and that has led to bearing problems which are the source of the heat. Heat is bad, more or continue heat will be castastrophic. Of course on a 2004 Sebring the cost vs benefit of a fix may mean a scrapper trip for the car.

Oil may keep that long but engine specs and SAE specs change almost yearly although usually not enough to disqualify an oil from being approved for use. Of course if you buy it now for a car you have now, it will likely always be acceptable albeit maybe not the best available.

Been working on my own cars for roughly 40 years now. Never used synthetic. Don't know much about it.

BetterDays said: I only received one rebate out of three that I submitted so I called the rebate center (who were absolutely worthless) and was given this number for Quaker State customer service: 866-707-6737. I explained the issue to the CSR and they opened a complaint for me about a week ago. I never received a call back like they promised, but today I did receive my other two checks.

Yes, it appears that Quaker State has come down on the rebate processing subcontractor. I'm on the phone with them and they have changed from being hostile non cooperative robots into people who listen.
They're claiming that it is ONE per VIN (we knew that) and they are claiming that they will honor this per their original agreement.
I am able to resubmit via email the one proof that they "don't have".
Again, it is plain that the company has been instructed to be more sensitive to the customer's rights, knowing that the world is a very small place and their reputation could be seriously compromised if they remain difficult to deal with.
