vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or IDEMITSU
I switched to the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, which is made from natural gas and it's probably the best full synthetic oil available now, IMHO
Pros: best full synthetic oil
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
I use Idemitsu Wankel Racing Oil. 10w30, I think.
Pros: Wankel Racing Oil
Vehicle:
Mazda
I run 5w30 in my 17 tundra, 16 Corolla and soon my 23 4Runner. My Tundra was noticeably quieter after the switch. The Corolla was quieter, but the change was not as dramatic as the 5.7 V8 in the tundra.
Pros: quieter engine
Cons: change not dramatic
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum because it is GF-6A and API SP full synthetic motor oil which are the latest and greatest standards.
Pros: latest and greatest standards
I use PENNZOIL PLATINUM but brand is up to you !
Pennzoil ultra premium is the best overall considering price, pennzoil euro is even better if they make it in your w-viscosity rating.
amsoil is the best period but is also expensive. recommended for commercial driving where you run your car to the limit racking up hundreds of miles per drive.
A lot of old guys recommend mobil 1. Mobil 1 loses to even walmart supertech, amazon basics oil, valvoline, etc. in the wear metal tests so that's my reason for avoiding that one
Pros: best overall considering price
Cons: mobil 1 loses tests
I’m running Penzoil ultra platinum 5W-30. The instructor I drove with said he runs 5W-30 in his gen 1 BRZ track rentals.
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
Have an 07 Silverado bought new first oil change switched over to Mobil one used that until one of the hurricanes hit Louisiana and started having a problem getting it so switched over to Pennzoil full synthetic. Truck has 368000 on it and seems to be still going strong so I’d say it’s your choice.
Pros: truck still going strong
Cons: problem getting it
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Silverado
Mileage: 368000 km
I use Pennzoil Platinum. Is it the best? Who knows, but I’ve been using it for years on several vehicles and never had an issue.
Pros: no issues for years
I got an oil change with Pennzoil 5W-40 Euro, which I was not too fond of, because the light weight of the oil made my lifter noise sound much more pronounced.
Cons: made lifter noise pronounced
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
