vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or Mannol
Use Penzoil Ultra Plat. Can probably stretch it to 5k miles with no issues.
Pros: stretch it to 5k
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Mileage: 5000 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
As an additional word of advice. Do not use Mannol 5w30 C3 oil when doing oil changes. Use a high quality oil- castrol,shells, millers.. these cars are very sensitive to oil
Pros: high quality oil
Cons: Mannol oil thins out
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
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
Mannol is a legit brand. Although not as critically acclaimed like Liquimoly, Rowe, Fuchs, Addinol, or Ravenol. Probably on par with Voltronic.
Pros: legit brand
Cons: not critically acclaimed
I know I was using penzoil back when I had a 90 325i, locked my engine up solid, mechanic said it had too much paraffin so yeah it matters personally I only use Mobil 1 synthetics
Pros: only use Mobil 1
Cons: locked engine up
Vehicle:
