Penzoil platinum held up nicely. A hair thinner and less active additive than Valvoline but wear looks great.
Pros: wear looks great
Cons: hair thinner, less additive

I've run penzoil ultra platinum 5w30 for the last two oil changes. It's great, but running the heavier grade oil I notice the engine is a little sluggish until it's been running for something like 10 minutes, so my next oil change im gonna go back to 0w20 and stick with penzoil ultra platinum because it seems to run cleaner than the valvoline oil I ran before.
Pros: runs cleaner
Cons: engine a little sluggish
I do penzoil. Amsoil is good stuff too, penzoil is just easier to find. I do the ultra platinum. And I use wix filter (black one because it has the same valve the oem filters have).
Pros: easy to find
My car burns oil and I went to Pennzoil ultra platinum. Burns ways less oil now
Pros: burns less oil
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is one of the best full synthetic oils out there.
Pros: best full synthetic oil
Liqui-Moly is also good, as are Amsoil and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. I never had good luck with Mobil 1.
Pros: is also good
Vehicle:
BMW
I keep a running supply of pennzoil ultra platinum 5w30 around as 4 of our vehicles use it. I start to worry when I have less than 10 quarts.
Pros: used in multiple vehicles, reliable supply
