A couple percentage points with NOACK evaporation doesn't mean much if you already use something under 10% to be honest.

Quaker State Ultimate Durability, Full Synthetic SAE 5W-30 is 8.7% and cost a lot less. A gallon(3.785litres) of Redline 5W30 runs $47.95, a 1.25(4.73litres) gallon jug of Quaker State UD 5W30 is $17.97.

QSUD has a cSt of 10.19 @ 100c and 56.13 @ 40c
Redline is 10.12 and 59.7

If I had the money to blow I would switch to Amsoil 5W30 Signature Series oil, but I can't justify spending that kind of money considering I change my oil @ 6500 miles and I never drive it to where the oil temperature goes above 250f(121c).
