Reviews
Original owner ran Pennzoil ultra platinum and that I got 289,000 miles on that engine and turbo before I had a shop rebuilt it.
Pros: engine lasted 289,000 miles
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 465108 km
Been running PU since with no problems.
Pros: no problems
Since I'm replying -- have noticed 0 oil consumption on my Mk8 in the last two years.
Pros: zero oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Penzoil the best!
Pros: the best
Vehicle:
Saab
I use Pennzoil platinum euro because its dirt cheap from walmart and meets all specs. 135,xxx kms so far on the same oil.
Pros: dirt cheap, meets specs
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 135000 km
Best bang for your buck is the ultra premium penzoil 0w 20. Meets the api certification and in terms of performance it essentially provides the same level of performance as the amsoil.
Pros: meets api certification
I run Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30. My FK8 is making over 500hp no issues
Pros: no issues, high performance
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
For the money, Pennzoil can't be beat, and I say that considering you can usually get it from Napa or Amazon around $7/qt. Idemitsu is also great, but hovers around $8 or $9/qt on Amazon or Napa.
Pros: great value for money
Cons: Amsoil better protection
My 2024 Toyota Rav4 Prime XSE has had 2 used oil analysis tests done at 4k and 8k miles on Pennzoil Platinum 0w-16 and Eneos 0w-16. Both results showed both oils shearing lower and out of grade to a 0w-8 viscosity at 100C in 4k miles.
Pros: oil analysis tests done
Cons: oils shearing lower
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 4000 km
Using the incorrect oil can cause damage and will definately void your warranty. Call the closest dealership and buy the oil for this oil change.
Cons: can cause damage, void warranty
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
