Engine oil Kendall or PENNZOIL
0-20 pennsoil synthetic with a wix or napa filter
Unless you are tracking the car you aren\u2019t going to see a difference. I use Pennzoil ultra platinum and a wix filter on my daily\u2019s.
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, better than mobil 1, but also I am pretty sure all oil is within a few percentage points of performance anymore anyways, and it really doesn't matter as long as you change it when you should.
Pros: better than mobil 1
Great oil, I go with the Ultra Platinum. So far it's been the absolute quietest (based on subjective valvetrain sound) and smoothest driving oil I ever used. I tried OEM, Valvoline, Castrol. Nothing was as smooth as the Pennzoil even after a few thousand miles. I still change it every 5k for peace of mind.
Pros: quietest, smoothest driving
Mileage: 5000 km
I swear by penz ultra platinum/euro platinum in my cars. Really good anti wear additive package in that stuff.
Pros: good anti-wear additives
I used kendall 20w50 in race engines, though those saw 7-8 grand shifts, and lasted about a year.
Pros: lasted under harsh conditions
I use Pennzoil Platinum. It's made from natural gas, a cleaner base than crude. My engine loves it. Minimal consumption between oil changes and no leaks.
Pros: engine loves it, minimal consumption, no leaks
I went with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30. 20k on the clock of my 2023 and it doesn’t burn a drop of oil. I changed the oil at 1k and 3k after that and it always comes out looking beautifully.
Pros: no oil burn, looks beautiful
Vehicle:
Subaru
From my knowledge it doesn't matter what brand you put in. Just make sure its quality oil that's rated for your car and do oil changes regularly. I have used Mazda branded Moly 0W-20, Mobil1 Extended Performance 0W-20 and currently Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20. Honestly I can't tell the difference between them at all.
Pros: quality oil, regular changes
Cons: no difference between brands
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
5w30 pennzoil, doesnt make the vtc rattle with that oil, mobil 1 sucks i would stay away from it it also burns much faster
Pros: no vtc rattle
Cons: burns much faster
