vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM Audi
One poster said it right; Amsoil is a Multi Level Marketing program and that's why it's so expensive. Yes it's great oil, however, the Penzoil ULTRA Platinum is high in detergents that keep your engine clean. It's made of natural gas, an industry first, and is so pure and clear you can hardly see it on your dipstick.
Pros: high in detergents
Cons: expensive
I always run 5w30 Pennzoil Platinum in mine. I have run other brands, but I have settled on this. Easy to get, often on sale, excellent oil.
Pros: easy to get, excellent oil
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in my 2016 Focus ST. It seems to love it. Quieter idle, great gas mileage, drives smoother after a cold start.
Pros: quieter idle, great mileage
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Grab a good quality 0/w20 synthetic. I'm currently using Pennzoil and a Fram filter.
Pros: good quality synthetic
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Mileage: 120000 km
I run Pennzoil ultra platinum oil and GM syncromesh trans fluid
Ultra premium is the best oil after amsoil, but amsoil is too expensive for this car, pennzoil is the best and cheap
Pros: best and cheap
Cons: amsoil is too expensive
I've been using penzoil platinum
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I’ve used nothing but Pennzoil Platinum since the free oil changes ran out, 150k or so now, and never had a problem.
Pros: never had a problem
Mileage: 150000 km
I just change it every 3k as a maintenance think no one told me to. I'm just afraid of messing up my turbo if I waited to long.
Cons: fear of turbo damage
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 3000 km
Also when using thinner oils you should probably use a higher quality oil like penzoil or valvoline since they tend to have extra anti wear additives as oppose to garbage like mobile oil
Pros: extra anti wear additives
Cons: garbage like mobile oil
