                REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                ---------------------------------


To the Board of Directors
Quaker State Corporation:

                 We have audited the statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Quaker State Corporation Thrift and Stock Purchase Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

                 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

                 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Quaker State Corporation Thrift and Stock Purchase Plan as of 
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for 
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.


                 As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements the Plan
changed its method of accounting for payments due to participants effective
January 1, 1993.

                 Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an
opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
schedules listed on page 1 are presented for purposes of complying with the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements.  The supplemental schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                            QUAKER STATE CORPORATION
                         THRIFT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                      ____


1.     Major Features of the Plan:
       ---------------------------

       The Quaker State Corporation Thrift and Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan)
       includes eligible employees of Quaker State Corporation (Quaker State or
       the Company) and certain of its subsidiaries who have completed one year
       of service and have reached age 21.  It is subject to the provisions of
       the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  Under the
       Plan, participants may elect to make contributions on a tax-deferred
       basis in the form of a salary reduction (Tax-Deferred Contributions) at
       their option up to the lesser of 10% (12% effective July 1, 1992) of
       their compensation or $8,994.  The $8,994 limit may be adjusted by the
       Internal Revenue Service in future years.  In addition, employees may
       elect to make contributions on an after-tax basis in the form of a
       payroll deduction (Thrift Contributions) of up to 6% of their
       compensation; however, the sum of the Thrift Contributions and the
       Tax-Deferred Contributions cannot exceed 10% (12% effective July 1,
       1992) of the participant's compensation.  For contribution purposes, not
       more than $235,840 of a participant's compensation (as adjusted by the
       Internal Revenue Service) can be taken into account for any one calendar
       year.  Subject to limitations, the Company will make contributions
       (Regular Company Contributions) in an amount equal to 50% of a
       participant's total monthly contributions up to a maximum of 3% of that
       participant's monthly compensation.  In addition, the Company will make
       a profit- sharing contribution (Company Profit-Sharing Contribution) to
       the Plan provided certain predetermined profit levels are attained.
       
       Effective January 1, 1993, four funds were available for investment of
       contributions to the Plan.  Fund A is composed of money market funds and
       bonds or other obligations issued by the U. S. government.  At 
       December 31, 1993, stated interest rates on investments in Fund A 
       ranged from 3.9% to 8.875%.  Fund B is the Mellon Bank EB Intermediate 
       Bond Fund comprised of a portfolio of fixed income securities. Fund C is
       composed of Quaker State capital stock.  Fund D is the Mellon Bank EB 
       Stock Fund comprised of a diversified portfolio of corporate stocks. In 
       anticipation of the change in the Plan trustee (Note 9), investments in 
       Fund B and Fund D were liquidated and held in money market funds at 
       December 31, 1993.  All Company contributions are invested in Fund C; 
       however, participants may select any one or more of the four funds for 
       their contributions.  Allocations of employee contributions must be in 
       even multiples of 10%, and until January 1, 1993 not less than 30% of 
       their total contributions could be invested in any one fund.  Prior to
       January 1, 1993, three funds were available for investment of
       contributions to the Plan. Effective January 1, 1993, the Plan was
       amended to combine the existing Fund A and Fund B into a new Fund A. In 
       addition, a new Fund B and Fund D were established.

       An account is maintained for each participant, which is credited with
       the participant's contribution and allocation of (a) the Company's
       contribution, and (b) plan earnings.  Allocations are based on
       participant contributions or account balances, as defined by the Plan.
       The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can
       be provided from that participant's account.

1.     Major Features of the Plan, continued:
       ---------------------------
       Effective April 1, 1993, transfers of presently invested participant
       Tax-Deferred Contributions and Thrift Contributions are permitted
       pursuant to the Plan provisions.

       The Organization and Compensation Committee of the Quaker State Board 
       of Directors administers the Plan.  Reference should be made to the 
       Prospectus, "Quaker State Corporation Thrift and Stock Purchase Plan
       ("Prospectus")," for a detailed description of the Plan including
       eligibility and vesting (Note 5), employee and Company contributions,
       investment options, withdrawals, borrowings by participants and
       termination.


2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
       -------------------------------------------
          Investment Valuation:
          ---------------------
          Investments are carried at value in the accompanying financial
          statements.  Investments in Quaker State capital stock are valued at
          the mean of the highest and lowest selling prices on the last
          business day of the period.  U. S. government obligations are valued
          at the mean of the bid and asked prices on the last business day of
          the period.  Investments in money market accounts are carried at cost
          which approximates market.  Money market accounts are invested in a
          Mellon Bank temporary investment account.

          Other:
          ------
          Purchases and sales/distributions of Quaker State capital stock and
          U. S. government obligations are reflected on a trade-date basis.
          Gains and losses are based on average cost for Quaker State capital
          stock and specific identification for U. S. government obligations.
          

          Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income
          is recorded as earned.
          
          The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available
          for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of
          its investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and
          the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on U.S. government
          obligations and Quaker State capital stock and net appreciation
          (depreciation) in the value of the underlying assets in the bond and 
          equity funds.
          
          Administrative expenses, including trustee, legal, auditing and other
          fees, are paid by Quaker State and, therefore, are not expenses of
          the Plan.

3.     Federal Income Taxes: 
       ---------------------
       The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Plan is qualified
       and the Trust established under the Plan is tax-exempt, under the
       appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly, no
       provision has been made for federal income taxes.  Certain prior and any
       subsequent amendments to the Plan are subject to Internal Revenue
       Service review and approval.  The plan administrator and its legal
       counsel do not anticipate that such changes will affect the qualified
       and tax-exempt status of the Plan and Trust, respectively.

       Thrift Contributions are included in the participant's income in the
       year the payroll deductions are made and are not deductible by the
       participant for federal income tax purposes.  Tax-Deferred Contributions
       are not included in the participant's income for federal income tax
       purposes and, therefore, are not subject to federal income tax or
       withholding at the time of contribution.

       Company contributions and earnings reinvested into the various funds are
       not taxable to the participant until distribution.

4.     Forfeited Company Contributions:
       --------------------------------
       Prior to July 1, 1992, each Plan Year's Regular Company Contribution
       units which had been forfeited in accordance with the applicable
       provisions of the Plan were held on an unallocated basis until the last
       valuation date preceding the fifth January 1 following the end of such
       Plan Year or, if earlier, until reinstated to a participant's account
       pursuant to the Plan.  At that time, the forfeited units were
       reallocated to the then active participants for such Plan Year.
       Effective July 1, 1992, the Plan was amended to provide for full vesting
       of all accounts for active participants and for all forfeitures which
       were unallocated as of June 30, 1992 to be allocated to active
       participants of the Plan.  As of June 30, 1992 a total of 2,769.51311
       Regular Company Contribution units, with a total value at December 31,
       1992 of $73,915 were reallocated.
                             
                                  Continued

                                  ____


5.     Vesting and Withdrawal of Units:
       --------------------------------
       Effective July 1, 1992, all participants who are active employees on
       that date are 100% vested in the Regular Company Contributions, and
       Regular Company Contributions made on or after July 1, 1992 will be 100%
       vested at all times.  Prior to July 1, 1992, an active participant was
       100% vested in the Regular Company Contribution units after the
       participant had completed five years of continuous service; however, the
       vesting provisions in effect prior to January 1, 1989 continued to be
       used to determine withdrawals.  Prior to January 1, 1989, Regular
       Company Contribution units vested on the fifth January 1 following the
       Plan Year for which such units were credited to a participant's account.

       Prior to July 1, 1992, a withdrawal of Thrift Contribution or
       Tax-Deferred Contribution units for a Plan Year would result in a
       forfeiture of unvested Regular Company Contribution units credited to a
       participant's account for such Plan Year.


6.     Employee Loans:
       ---------------
       Participants are permitted to borrow against all or a portion of their
       Tax-Deferred Contribution and Company Profit-Sharing Contribution units
       within prescribed limitations and pursuant to nondiscriminatory rules
       established by the Organization and Compensation Committee.  Each loan 
       is to be repaid over a period not to exceed five years unless the
       Organization and Compensation Committee approves a longer repayment 
       period for certain loans related to a participant's primary residence.

       The interest rate applied to any loan made on or before October 18, 1989
       was determined by the Compensation Committee, at one-half percent above
       the Chase Manhattan Bank prime rate, in December of the preceding
       calendar year.  The interest rate applied to any loan made after 
       October 18, 1989 is the rate set by the Compensation Committee from 
       time to time determined by periodically comparing rates at various 
       banks.  Principal and interest payments are generally made through 
       monthly payroll deductions and are credited to the participant's 
       individual Plan account(s).  Loans totaling $1,004,990 and $1,129,008 
       were made from the Plan, and repayments, including interest of $148,834
       and $148,996, totaling $1,230,546 and $937,429 were received by the 
       Plan during the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

7.     Plan Termination:
       -----------------
       Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
       right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
       terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

8.     Change in Accounting:  
       ---------------------
       To comply with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
       revised Audit and Accounting Guide "Audits of Employee Benefit Plans,"
       as of May 1, 1993 (the Guide), the Plan changed its method of accounting
       for distributions payable to participants in 1993.  Presently, the Plan
       includes payments due to participants in net assets available for plan
       benefits in accordance with the Guide.  The Plan previously presented
       such amounts as a liability. The cumulative effect of the change is to
       increase net assets available for plan benefits by $670,070 as of
       January 1, 1993.  Payments due to participants as of December 31, 1993
       were $912,734.  This methodology differs from that required under the
       Employee Retirement Income Act of 1974.  Therefore, for the Form 5500,
       the Plan includes such distributions payable as a liability of the Plan.

9.     Subsequent Event:
       -----------------
