I'm partial to Pennzoil Platinum Ultra 5w-30 based on UOA's at Bitog and other internet sources...
I’m using penz plat though I’ve only had my oil changed once (3500 on my OD) but so far so good. My oil temp stays around the 200 mark once fully warmed up and has been running very smoothly.
The data I've seen round the web, including BITOG forums says that Pennzoil Platinum and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 is as good or better than the waaay overpriced Motul stuff.
Motul xclean, amsoil signature series, valvoline max life, and penzoil ultra platinum are the favorites.
Ive only bought at walmart. $21.97. My turbo calls for an ingredient thats in the pennz synthetic
I also found out the filter (Mobil 1 extended performance) was about $6 cheaper there too
Motul or Penzoil.
My car only gets Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Seems like a good quality oil!
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum every 3k miles religiously.
The project farm video convinced me to use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. It’s about 98% of the performance of Amsoil for much less money.
From what I've read online, Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 is a solid option that you can find at most retailers.
