  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  Quaker State Corporation and Subsidiaries
                (unaudited)

1. In the opinion of management of Quaker State Corporation (the company), the
   accompanying financial statements include all adjustments which are
   necessary to a fair statement of the results for such periods. All of these
   adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These statements should be read
   in conjunction with the financial statements included as a part of the 1993
   annual report on Form 10-K.

2. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined on
   the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis for all crude oil, the majority of
   company refined petroleum and vehicular lighting products; and on the
   first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis for other inventories.  The reserve to
   reduce the carrying value of inventories from FIFO basis to LIFO basis
   amounted to $21,760,000 at September 30, 1994, and $19,090,000 at 
   December 31, 1993.

3. On August 31, 1994, the company completed the sale of all of the stock of its
   wholly owned subsidary, Heritage Insurance Group, Inc., to General Electric
   Capital Corporation for approximately  $85,000,000 with net proceeds of
   $82,000,000 paid at the time of closing after satisfaction of certain
   intercompany obligations. Accordingly, the operating results of the insurance
   business, including the gain on the sale, have been segregated and reported
   as a discontinued operation in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of
   Operations for the period ending September 30, 1994. Prior year and prior
   period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current
   period presentation.

      The insurance operations sales and operating revenues for two months of
   the third quarter and eight months of 1994 were $24,724,000 and $87,451,000
   compared to the third quarter and nine months of 1993 which were $32,981,000
   and $93,785,000.

4. In December 1993, the United States of America commenced a lawsuit against
   the company in the U.S.  District Court for Northern West Virginia. The
   complaint alleges the company violated the federal Resource Conservation and
   Recovery Act and the federal Clean Air Act at the Congo refinery on various
   dates starting in 1980 and seeks civil penalties as allowable under federal
   law not to exceed $25,000 per day for each violation. The company intends to
   vigorously defend itself in this lawsuit. However, the ultimate outcome of
   this litigation cannot presently be determined. A provision of $1,000,000 was
   established in the first quarter for costs associated with the pending
   litigation.

      In addition, the company has received notices from the EPA and others
   that it is a "potentially responsible party" relative to certain waste
   disposal sites identified by the EPA and may be required to share in the cost
   of cleanup. The company has accrued for all matters which are probable and
   can be reasonably estimated.

       Contingent liabilities of an indeterminate amount exist in connection
   with suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

      In April 1994, three purported class actions were commenced in the
   Federal District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against Witco
   Corporation, Quaker State Corporation and Pennzoil Company. The complaints
   allege violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. The company believes there
   is no basis for the allegations in the complaints and intends to defend these
   matters vigorously.

      In the opinion of management, all matters discussed above are adequately
   accrued for or covered by insurance or, if not so provided for, are without
   merit or the disposition is not anticipated to have a material effect on the
   company's financial position; however, one or more of these matters could
   have a material effect on future quarterly or annual results of operations
   when resolved.

5. The effective income tax rate for continuing operations was lowered to 33%
   for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 from 41% for the six months
   ended June 30, 1994 due to a reduction in the estimated state tax rate and
   additional available foreign and other tax credits and other changes in 
   estimates. This reduction in the year-to-date rate caused the effective 
   tax rate for continuing operations for the quarter ending September 30, 
   1994 to be reduced to 8%. The 1994 nine month effective tax rate of 33% for 
   continuing operations is higher than the 1993 restated effective tax rate 
   of 21% due to higher income, an enacted federal rate change in 1993 that 
   increased the value of deferred tax assets in 1993, 1993 net adjustments 
   to valuation allowance and other 1993 credits.

6. On May 12, 1994 the company's stockholders approved the 1994 Stock Incentive
   Plan. The number of shares which may be issued under this plan is 1,250,000
   and the plan includes stock options, alternative stock appreciation rights,
   cash payment rights, restricted shares, performance shares and other share
   awards. In 1994, 225,800 restricted performance shares were granted under
   this plan to key employees subject to forfeiture if certain three year
   performance goals are not met. As a result of the grant of these restricted
   shares, the company recorded $3,109,000 as unearned compensation in the
   equity section of the  Consolidated Balance Sheet. This unearned compensation
   is being amortized on a straight line basis as compensation expense over the
   performance cycle period.

7. On September 30, 1994 the company acquired all the stock of Westland Oil
   Company, Inc. (Westland) and the Specialty Oil Companies (Specialty) of
   Shreveport, Louisiana. The purchase price of Westland was 4,000,000 shares of
   common stock valued at $57,750,000 under a negotiated Stock Purchase
   Agreement.  Specialty was acquired by a negotiated Agreement and Plan of
   Merger for a consideration of $19,500,000 paid in cash at the time of
   closing. The company also purchased certain related equipment assets
   for  approximately $1,500,000. In addition, the company assumed
   approximately $42,000,000 in indebtedness of the acquired companies 
   (of which approximately $22,000,000 was satisfied by Quaker State at the 
   time of closing).

     The Agreement for Purchase and Sale also provides for the purchase by
   Quaker State of certain real property used in the acquired companies'
   operations, for $9,000,000 at a later date.

     Westland  and Specialty are engaged in the sale and distribution of motor
   oils, lubricants, greases and antifreeze, the blending, packaging, sale and
   distribution of private label and branded lubricants, antifreeze and greases
   and the collection and transportation of used motor oil.

     The source of funds used for the acquisition was the proceeds of the sale
   of Quaker State's former subsidiary, Heritage Insurance Group, Inc., which
   disposition was concluded on August 31, 1994.

     The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method and,
   accordingly, the operating results of Westland and Specialty will be included
   in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of
   acquisition.

     The purchase price allocation to assets and liabilities is preliminary.
   The acquisition has resulted in a preliminary excess of purchase price over
   fair value of assets of approximately $72,000,000 recorded on the
   Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 1994.

     The unaudited Consolidated Results of Operations are on a pro forma basis
   as though Westland and Specialty had been acquired as of the beginning of the
   periods presented, after including the impact of adjustments, such as
   amortization of goodwill, and related tax effects. The discontinued insurance
   operations have also been excluded.

   The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would
have occured if the acquisition had been in effect for the entire periods
presented. In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future
results and do not reflect any synergies that might be achieved from the
combined operations.

                   QUAKER STATE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
    Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

                                   --------

     The consolidated financial statements and related notes including
information about Quaker State Corporation's (the company) operations in
different segments included in this Form 10-Q should be read as an integral
part of this review.

                                   --------

     Quaker State Corporation reported third quarter net income of $5,398,000,
or $.19 per share compared to $3,976,000, or $.14 per share, in the same
quarter last year. Nine month net income was $16,050,000, or $.58 per share,
versus $11,760,000, or $.43 per share in 1993. Sales and operating revenues
from continuing operations in 1994 were $184,427,000 and $528,097,000 for the
quarter and nine months compared to $159,432,000 and $473,522,000 for the same
periods last year. Operating profits from continuing operations in 1994
increased 13%, to $9,489,000 in the third quarter and 26%, to $32,579,000, for
the nine months ended September 30, 1994. Income from continuing operations in
the third quarter was down 21% to $3,922,000 as a result of higher corporate
expenses.  The nine month revenue, operating profit and net income improvements
are based primarily on sales volume increases.

     On August 31, 1994 the company completed the sale of all of the stock of
its wholly owned subsidiary, Heritage Insurance Group, Inc., to General
Electric Capital Corporation for approximately $82,000,000 after satisfaction
of certain intercompany obligations.  Accordingly, the insurance operations
have been accounted for as a discontinued operation in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the period ending September 30, 1994.  Prior year
and prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to this
presentation.  (Refer to Note 3.)

     On September 30, 1994 the company completed the acquisition of Westland
Oil Company, Inc. and the Specialty Oil Companies, all of Shreveport,
Louisiana.  The purchase price of the acquisition was 4,000,000 shares of
common stock valued at $57,750,000 and cash consideration of $19,500,000. The
company also assumed approximately $42,000,000 in indebtedness of the acquired
companies.  In addition, the company also purchased certain related equipment
for $1,541,000 and the company agreed to purchase certain real property used in
the acquired companies' operations for $9,000,000 at a later date.  Funds used
for the acquisition were the proceeds from the sale of Heritage Insurance
Group, Inc. which disposition was completed on August 31, 1994.  The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the
Consolidated Balance Sheet for September 30, 1994 includes the assets and
liabilities related to this acquisition.  The purchase price allocation to
assets and liabilities is preliminary as of September 30, 1994.  Further
details of the transaction, including pro forma consolidated results of
operations, are provided in Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

                   QUAKER STATE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

    Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
                                   --------

        In the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 1994, the motor oil
division operating profits declined 12% to $4,702,000 and $12,970,000 while
revenues in these periods increased 15% and 10% to $131,005,000 and
$366,052,000.  Branded motor oil sales volume increased 16% in the third
quarter and 10% for the nine months to primarily account for the revenue
increases.  Third quarter and year-to-date automotive consumer product sales
were up 25%.  Other third quarter variances that impacted sales included:
gasoline, fuel oil and kerosene sales volume down 20%, refinery lube stock
sales volume down 39% and average lube stock sales prices up 25%.  Operating
profit declines in the third quarter and nine months resulted from increases in
expenses of approximately $5,500,000 and $16,900,000 for marketing expenses,
higher selling expenses geared towards developing additional sales volume and
higher freight from additional volume.  Additionally, during the third quarter
of 1993 certain inventory quantities were reduced resulting in liquidations of
LIFO inventories.  The effect of these liquidations was a decrease in operating
profit of $600,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1993.
Nine-month results also include expenses of approximately $1,500,000 associated
with the December 1993 lawsuit filed against the company for alleged
environmental violations at the Congo refinery. (Refer to Note 4.)  Operating
profit has been negatively impacted by a shift to more bulk sales where the
gross profit margin is lower.  Increases since January 1, 1994 for the cost of
packaging and additives also had a negative impact on operating profits.  A
price increase for branded motor oil products effective September 1 should
improve branded motor oil gross profit margins for the remainder of 1994. 
Starting in the fourth quarter of 1994, the operating results generated by the
purchase of Westland Oil Company, Inc. and the Specialty Oil Companies will be
included in the motor oil business segment.

     The fast lube segment reported third quarter operating profits of
$1,741,000 on sales and operating revenues of $30,470,000 compared to profits
of $1,729,000 on revenues of $26,524,000 last year.  Year-to-date operating
profits were $4,520,000 on revenues of $84,596,000 compared to profits of
$2,687,000 on revenues of $77,558,000 last year.  Car counts in 1994 increased
10% and 8% for the three and nine months ended September 30.  Third quarter and
year-to-date advertising expenses have increased $323,000 and $776,000 while
third quarter employee benefit expenses are up approximately $243,000.
`
     Operating profits for the third quarter and first nine months of 1994 at
the natural gas exploration and production business were $60,000 and $4,200,000
compared to a third quarter operating loss of $169,000 and year-to-date
operating profit of $2,858,000 in 1993. Revenues increased 7% to $6,054,000 in
the third quarter

    Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

                                   --------

while year-to-date revenues of $21,657,000 increased 12% over 1993.  Natural
gas sales volume increased 20% for the quarter and nine months ended September
30 and included deliveries made through the new Stagecoach pipeline.  Natural
gas year-to-date average sales prices were up 4%  per MCF but third quarter
average prices dropped 6%  per MCF.  Natural gas prices are expected to decline
throughout the fourth quarter resulting in a deterioration of operating results
in this business segment for the remainder of 1994.  Third quarter and
year-to-date crude oil sales volumes were down 19% and 14% while year-to-date
average sales prices were off 14%  per barrel.  Nine-month depreciation and
depletion expense has increased $1,219,000 due to changes in crude oil reserve
estimates and increased natural gas production.

     Truck-Lite operating profits in 1994 of $2,680,000 and $10,114,000
increased 122% and 112% over the third quarter and first nine months of 1993.
Revenues were up 27% for the quarter to $24,281,000 and 24% for the nine months
to $75,499,000.  Automotive and original equipment truck trailer lighting sales
volume is 19% and 17% ahead of the same periods last year. This combined with
the sale of higher priced products accounts for the increased operating 
profits and revenues.  Selling, general and administrative expenses are up 
13% for the nine months and include a third quarter charge of $500,000 for 
additional employee costs.

     Corporate interest expense of $3,443,000 for the first nine months of 1994
is down 18% from last year due to lower average debt in 1994.  Corporate
expenses of $14,423,000 through September 30, 1994 are up 26% primarily due to
higher postretirement, performance incentive and legal expenses and reduced
expenses in the third quarter of 1993 of approximately $1,600,000 to adjust
employee benefit reserves.

     Income, net of taxes, from discontinued insurance operations in the third
quarter was $1,476,000, or $.05 per share, compared to a loss of $967,000, or
$.04 per share, in 1993.  The third quarter results include a gain from the
sale of the business of $377,000, or $.01 per share.  Year-to-date income was
$4,761,000 or $.17 per share, compared to $2,692,000 or $.10 per share last
year.  The 1993 third quarter and nine month insurance income includes a
$5,000,000 pre-tax charge to reserve for an estimate of probable liability
related to an adverse California jury decision.  This lawsuit was settled in
the fourth quarter of 1993.

    Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

                                   --------

     The effective income tax rate for continuing operations was lowered to 33%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 from 41% for the six months ended
June 30, 1994 due to a reduction in the estimated state tax rate and additional
available foreign and other tax credits.  This change resulted in an 8%
effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.

        Cash provided by operations for the first nine months of 1994 was
$30,522,000 compared to $37,275,000 in 1993.  This decrease resulted primarily
from reduced cash from the discontinued insurance operations and additional
cash used by coal activities.  Cash used by coal activities was $12,601,000 in
the first nine months.  Investing activities included proceeds from the sale of
the discontinued insurance operations, net of discontinued operations' cash, of
$76,851,000.  Cash proceeds from investing activities also included the sale of
property and equipment of $4,099,000 of which $1,690,000 related to the
discontinued coal operations, and proceeds from the sale of discontinued
insurance company bonds and securities of $47,781,000.  Cash used in investing
activities included acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired, of
$28,366,000, capital expenditures of $22,481,000, and disbursements to purchase
insurance company bonds and securities of $60,513,000.  Cash used in financing
activities was $25,097,000 and included payments of $17,194,000 to primarily
pay Specialty Oil Company debt at the time of aquisition and $8,206,000 paid for
dividends.

     On October 27, 1994 the Board of Directors of the company authorized a
quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share payable December 15 to shareholders of
record as of November 15, 1994.
