vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or RAVENOL
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 personally use ravenol now, but was a motul and shell user before.
Ravenol based on review videos on FB. Tumahimik makina & the tone ng engine nagiba mas smoother again based on videos lang sa FB not actual experience.
Pros: Tumahimik makina, mas smoother
I prefer ultra platinum over mobil 1 since ultra is used with a group 3+ base oil, which has better heat handling than regular group 3 oil.
Pros: better heat handling
When it comes to oil, Ravenol is really good and is also Made in Germany, some even recommend it over VW or BorgWarner, as it is full synthetic and does not break down/sludge up as fast.
Pros: full synthetic, good quality
Cons: breaks down fast
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I have used Ravenol USVO DXG 5 - 30. Comes back in most of the testing I see done as excellent oil. I only drive 5k miles year here in Minnesota taking the car off the road by October 1st and not back until at least April 1st, sometimes the 15th, and once in a great while as late as May 1 based on the weather. I change the oil once a year prior to putting it away for the winter. The oil comes after 5,000 mlles out almost the same honey color it went in as.
Pros: excellent oil, honey color
Cons: not cheap
Mileage: 5000 km
Pennzoil is fine, definitely not the best though (my 9th Gen si burned a lot using it) if you can get Mobil 1 or Castrol l I’d go for them instead and use an oem filter.
Cons: burned a lot
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
