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

1.   In the opinion of management of Quaker State Corporation (the
     company or Quaker State), 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 part of the 1994 annual report on Form 10-K.

2.   On April 28, 1995, the company announced plans to restructure its
     organization to integrate recent acquisitions, consolidate management and
     administrative activities, and move its corporate headquarters and Motor
     Oil Division to the Dallas, Texas area. The company plans to complete the
     move by the first quarter of 1996. The pre-tax costs and expenses
     associated with the restructuring and relocating the work force and
     closing the headquarters facility in Oil City, Pennsylvania and its
     administrative unit in Shreveport, Louisiana are currently estimated to
     be $25 million. A charge of $15.8 million ($9.5 million after tax) was 
     recorded in the second quarter 1995, of which $9.3 million related 
     directly to the Motor Oil Division. As of September 30, 1995, the 
     reserve was $8.4 million.

3.   On July 11, 1995, the company completed the acquisition of all the
     stock of Slick 50, Inc. (Slick 50) for $22 million in cash and the 
     issuance of approximately 1.3 million shares of Quaker State capital 
     stock. In addition, the company paid approximately $11 million to satisfy 
     certain Slick 50 indebtedness outstanding prior to the closing. Under the 
     terms of the Merger Agreement, additional consideration may be payable 
     by the company for Slick 50 stock depending upon the merged company's 
     performance during the fiscal years ending December 31, 1996, 1997, 
     and 1998 but subject to offset for indemnification obligations of 
     Slick 50 stockholders under the Merger Agreement.

     The source of funds used for cash consideration in the transaction and
     the payment of Slick 50 indebtedness was borrowing under Quaker State's
     $45 million Revolving Credit Agreement.

     The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method and,
     accordingly, the operating results of Slick 50 have been included in the
     accompanying Condensed 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 $49.1 million recorded in the
     Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of September 30, 1995.

4.   On August 9, 1995, the company sold most of the assets of its
     Natural Gas Exploration and Production Division. Accordingly, the
     operating results of Natural Gas Exploration and Production have been
     reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed
     Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter and nine months ended
     September 30, 1995. The December 31, 1994 Condensed Consolidated Balance
     Sheet has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
     The company recognized an after tax gain of $11.2 million from the sale of
     these assets in the third quarter.

5.   The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
     and 1994 of 39% and 38% for continuing operations is higher than the 35%
     federal statutory rate due to the impact of state and foreign taxes.

6.   The following schedule is prepared on a pro forma basis as though
     Specialty and Westland had been acquired as of the beginning of 1994,
     after including the impact of adjustments, such as amortization of
     intangible assets, intercompany sales elimination and related tax effects.
     The discontinued Insurance and Natural Gas Exploration and Production
     operations have also been excluded.

     The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have
     occurred if the acquisition and disposition had been in effect for the
     periods presented. In addition, they are not intended to be a projection
     of future results.

7.   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 $23.2 million at September 30, 1995, and $20.3 million at
     December 31, 1994.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 certain inventory
     quantities were reduced resulting in liquidations of LIFO inventory.  The
     effect of these liquidations was an increase in net income of $900,000 or
     $.03 per share.



       Inventories consist of:

8.   On May 25, 1995, the company's stockholders approved the Amendment
     of Quaker State's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized
     number of shares of Quaker State's capital stock from 37.5 million to 95
     million shares.

9.   In December 1993, the United States commenced a lawsuit against the        
     company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of 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 not 
     to exceed $25,000 per day for each violation. The company intends to 
     vigorously defend this lawsuit. However, the ultimate outcome of this 
     litigation cannot presently be determined.

     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.

     In April 1994, purported class actions were commenced in the U.S.
     District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against the
     company and two other oil companies.  The complaints allege violations of
     Section 1 of the Sherman Act. In July 1995, the United States District
     Court certified the proceeding as a class action and denied the
     defendants' motion for summary judgment. The company believes there is no
     basis for the allegations in the complaint and intends to defend the
     matter vigorously.

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

     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.

10.  In March, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Standard No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
     for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" which establishes accounting
     standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
     intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used and
     for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed
     of.  The new Standard must be implemented in 1996. The company is
     currently evaluating what effect, if any, this Standard will have on its
     financial position and results of operations.

11.  On October 23, 1995, the company sold $100 million of 6.625%
     notes due 2005. The company used $56.5 million of the proceeds to prepay
     the company's 8.73% Senior Notes due 2002. As a result of the prepayment,
     the company will recognize an extraordinary charge in the fourth quarter
     of $6.8 million ($4.1 million net of taxes). The remaining proceeds will
     be used for general corporate purposes, acquisitions, capital expenditures
     or the reduction of other indebtedness.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
        --------------------------------------------------
        Operations and Financial Condition
        ----------------------------------

        The condensed consolidated financial statements, other financial
information and related notes for Quaker State Corporation (the company)
included in this Form 10-Q, should be read as an integral part of this
analysis.

        The company reported net income of $15.3 million or $.47 per share for
the quarter ended September 30, 1995, compared to net income of $5.4 million or
$.19 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, the company reported net income of $17.7 million or
$.55 per share compared to $16.1 million or $.58 per share for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994.  The weighted average shares of capital stock
outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased over 4.5
million shares compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994, primarily
as a result of issuing shares in connection with the acquisition of Specialty
Oil Companies (Specialty) and Westland Oil, Inc. (Westland) in September 1994
and the acquisition of Slick 50, Inc. (Slick 50) in July 1995.  Sales and
operating revenues from continuing operations were $277.1 million and $774.3
million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to
$179.7 million and $509.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1994. Sales and operating revenues included $91.6 million and
$256.2 million from Specialty and Westland for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1995.

        The quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 include $1.2
million and $17 million pretax restructuring charges related to the announced
relocation to the Dallas, Texas area. Total costs under the restructuring plan
are estimated to be $25 million (see note 2). Operating profits from 
continuing operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
excluding restructuring charges, increased 42% and 35% to $13.4 million and
$38.2 million compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994.

        On August 9, 1995, the company sold most of the assets of its Natural
Gas Exploration and Production Division.  The company recognized an after tax
gain of $11.2 million in connection with the sale. Income from discontinued
operations was $11.3 million or $.34 per share, and $13.9 million or $.43 per
share for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $1.5
million or $.05 per share and $8.3 million or $.30 per share for the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1994.

        Motor Oil Division operating profits, excluding restructuring charges
of $700,000 and $10 million, were $9.5 million and $22.3 million for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $4.7 million and
$13 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Revenues of $231.7 million and $631.2 million in these periods increased 77%
and 72% over 1994 and included the 1995 sales from the Specialty and Westland
companies that were purchased in the third quarter of 1994 and Slick 50, which
was acquired in the third quarter of 1995.  Operating profit was favorably
impacted by the company's recent acquisition, a reduction in marketing costs
and improved refinery product margins due to higher sales prices for base
stocks, gasoline and fuel oil.


   10

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and 
Financial Condition, continued
        
        Branded motor oil sales volumes decreased 9% and 2% for the quarter 
and nine months ended September 30, 1995, reflecting an overall decline in
the motor oil category and strong promotional sales volumes in the third 
quarter of 1994.

        Q Lube reported third quarter operating profits of $2.4 million on
sales and operating revenues of $32.3 million compared to profits of $1.7
million on revenues of $30.5 million for the same period last year. Operating
profits were $6.6 million on sales and operating revenues of $92.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to profits of $4.5 million
on revenues of $84.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Year-to-date car counts in 1995 increased 6% and average per car sales were up
4% to account for the revenue and operating result improvements. Higher
advertising, depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from the
conversion of the fast lube outlets to the new Q Lube format partially offset
the improvement in operating results.

        Truck-Lite operating profits for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1995 were $1.4 million and $8.7 million compared to $2.7
million and $10.1 million for the third quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1994. Revenues were down 15% to $20.7 million and down 7% to $70.3 million
for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995. Lower sales 
volume and negative product mix adversely affected operating results.
Automotive sales slowed down in 1995 as the overall car market has softened.
Management was able to reduce year-to-date operating expenses and other costs 
by approximately $2.3 million to partially offset the slowdown in the business.

        For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 corporate
income was $1 million and $3.7 million compared to $800,000 and $2
million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994. Included in
corporate income is approximately $1.3 million of additional royalty payments
received for coal deliveries made by the purchaser of a long-term coal sales
agreement. Interest expense increased for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 as a result of the debt assumed in the acquisition of
Westland. As a result of lower salary and benefit expenses, corporate expenses
decreased 2% and 4% to $4.8 million and $13.9 million for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1995.

        Cash and cash equivalents increased by $100,000 from December 31,
1994. The increase was comprised of $900,000 of net cash flow provided from
operations, $9.7 million net cash provided by investing activities and $10.5
million net cash used in financing activities.  Cash provided by operations
was impacted by additional working capital requirements and the loss of
operating cash flows from the insurance operations which were sold in the third
quarter of 1994.

   11


Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition, continued

        Cash provided by investing activities of $9.7 million is primarily due
to $62.8 million of proceeds from the sale of the Natural Gas Exploration and
Production Division assets, $31 million used in the acquisition of Slick 50
and capital expenditures of $26.1 million. Cash used in financing activities of
$10.5 million is primarily due to $9.6 million of dividend payments.

        In April 1995, the company announced that the Board of Directors
approved a $25 million development project for the Red River port in
Shreveport, Louisiana which will become the company's lubricants manufacturing
and technical headquarters. The port development will include a blending,
packaging and warehousing facility in Shreveport, as well as a laboratory and
tank farm near the Red River. In addition, the Company plans to improve and
upgrade existing plant and facilities, and construct additional storage tanks
and bulk loading and unloading facilities near the Red River. The port
development project is subject to a number of conditions, including the
availability of state and local funding for land and certain infrastructure
which, to date, have not been finalized.

        On May 25, 1995, the company's stockholders approved an amendment to the
company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of
shares of Quaker State's capital stock from 37.5 million to 95 million
shares.

        On July 11, 1995, the company completed the acquisition of all the
stock of Slick 50 for $22 million in cash and the issuance of approximately 1.3
million shares of the company's capital stock. In addition, the company paid
approximately $11 million to satisfy certain Slick 50 indebtedness
outstanding prior to the closing. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement,
additional consideration may be payable by the company for Slick 50 stock
depending upon the merged company's performance during the fiscal years ending
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 but subject to offset for indemnification
obligations of Slick 50 stockholders under the Merger Agreement.

        On October 4, 1995, the company terminated its revolving credit
agreement due June 30, 1998 and executed a new $45 million credit agreement 
due September 28, 1996.

        On October 23, 1995, the company sold $100 million of 6.625% notes due
2005. The company used $56.5 million of the proceeds to prepay the 8.73% Senior
Notes due 2002. As a result of the prepayment, the company will recognize an
extraordinary charge in the fourth quarter of 1995 of approximately $6.8
million ($4.1 million net of taxes). The remaining proceeds will be used for
general corporate purposes, acquisitions, capital expenditures or the reduction
of other indebtedness.

        On October 26, 1995, the Board of Directors of the company declared a
quarterly dividend of $.10 per share payable December 15, 1995 to shareholders 
of record as of November 15, 1995.

   12


Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition, continued

        In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Standard
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of" which establishes accounting standards for the
impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill
related to those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of.  The new Standard must be
implemented in 1996. The company is currently evaluating what effect, if any,
this Standard will have on its financial position and results of operations.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
        -----------------

In its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, Quaker
State Corporation ("Quaker State") reported that in October 1993, Larry Tucker
and sixteen (16) other former salaried supervisory employees of Donaldson Mine
Company, a subsidiary of Quaker State's subsidiary, The Valley Camp Coal
Company ("Valley Camp"), instituted an action in the Circuit Court of Kanawha
County, West Virginia against Quaker State, Valley Camp, and Donaldson Mine
Company. The suit was subsequently removed to the United States District Court
for the Southern District of West Virginia. In October 1995, the claims of
eleven (11) of the plaintiffs were settled and dismissed for a nominal payment
and the court granted summary judgment dismissing all claims of the nonsettling
plaintiffs.

Item 5. Other Information
        -----------------

On September 28, 1995, the Quaker State Board of Directors adopted a
stockholders Rights plan and declared a dividend of one Right for each
outstanding share of Quaker State's capital stock. When exercisable, each Right
entitles the registered holder to purchase from Quaker State one share of
Quaker State capital stock or, in certain circumstances, common stock of an
acquiring company, at one-half the market price of such common stock. The
Rights were issued on October 18, 1995 to stockholders of record on that date.
