vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or Motorex
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’m using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, really helped how effortless my acceleration is and gas mileage.
Pros: effortless acceleration, gas mileage
I tried to use the Pennzoil high mileage full synthetic the most, but if I didn't have the bit extra for it, I'd get Walmarts generic full synthetic high milage. I always used a Fram full synthetic filter too, they were the only ones around me that were better quality and decent price for the time. Mine got to 200k no problems!
Pros: better quality, decent price
Mileage: 200000 km
Started running penzoil platinum in my mazdaspeed due to the great UOAs it got on DI motors, and just now run that in all my shit to simplify my life. Only have to keep one oil around that way.
Pros: great UOAs
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
