Engine oil PENNZOIL or Lucas
I have a 2012 gmc terrain 2.4l currently at 202k. I’ve used Lucas oil and restore and protect Valvoline oil the last 50k. Still runs like a gem with 177-182-179-175 compression cylinders 1-4. Used to be 155-149-144-168 before I started using both these oils
Pros: runs like a gem
Mileage: 202000 km
I switched to 5w30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum a long time ago on my 2.0T. 140k miles and running strong. FK8 CTR Turbo added around 133k, too. FBO PRL mods!
Pros: running strong, high mileage
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 225308 km
I run Pennzoil or Motul depending on if I grab filters locally (Walmart for Pennz) or buy an oil change kit online (most use Motul). I would have no quarrels running Toyota's oil (Mobil 1), Subaru's Oil (Idemitsu), Valvoline, or any of the other reputable brands in my car
Pros: API SP rated full-synthetic
have run penzz plat 5-30 for the entire life of the car almost, recently switched to the high mileage version as im pushing almost 150k miles on it.
Pros: high mileage version
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 241401 km
i use pennzoil plat every 3k seems to be fine for the past 57k miles
Pros: seems to be fine
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 91732 km
I go every 5k using Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30, though it's just a stock engine/tune and more than half are highway miles
Pros: stock engine, highway miles
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 8046 km
I exclusively have used Lucas oil for my sportster motor for 5 years. The bottle looks cool, that's it. Full synthetic oil, no frills, cheap, and easy to get.
Pros: cheap, easy to get
Cons: no frills
The engine itself runs great with the 48K I put on it in the past 2.5 years with biannual oil changes (Pennzoil Ultra Platinum). Averaging 27 MPGs on 91 Octane hwy miles, 24-25 mpg in the city.
Pros: engine runs great
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
Mileage: 48000 km
My mechanic added a bunch of Lucas to the oil, which he said might at least quiet it down, and it did. It's quieter now, but I can still hear it at idle.
Pros: quieter engine knock
Cons: still audible at idle
Pennzoil UP was on a sale and I bought 15 quarts, my Sierra dropped a lifter within 200 miles of the OC and switch, related, no way, will I ever use Pennzoil UP again, no way.
Pros: bought on sale
Cons: dropped a lifter
Mileage: 200 km
