Welcome to the forum, and yes, you will regret it. Quaker State oil, also known as Quaker cake oil is the worst, for gumming up the inside of an engine. I once had this explained that it was because this oil had a paraffin base. I don't know if that is the reason, but I do know it gums up engines. I have rebuilt several engines over the years, and the dirtiest ones had used Quaker State, or Arco oil. The cleanest engines I have ever seen had used Texaco Havoline.
