Engine oil PENNZOIL or ROWE
I *always* find Pennzoil Platinum on sale for like $25-ish/ 5qt at either O'Reilly's, NAPA, or Walmart around the time I go to do my oil change. $50-ish total oil changes, never had any issues with any of my cars.
Pros: no issues, good price
I jumped on the Pennzoil Ultra Plat bandwagon and have no complaints.
Pros: no complaints
Vehicle:
Subaru
I actually switched from Mobil1 Full Synthetic in my Tacoma, which I have been running since new, to Penzoil Platinum based on some recommendations and investigation. At least in the case of a 2015 Tacoma with less than 60,000 Miles I noticed that my valve train is a lot quieter now.
Pros: valve train quieter
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 96560 km
My 13 Ram 5.7, use only 5w20 penz ultra plat, with lubeguard biotech and boss oil filter. I have the truck tuned, turned off the cyl deactivation since it had 30k miles, zero tick. But, I feel the oil pump makes more difference for the hemi tick issue. My truck has a good oil pump, 60s and 70 psi on freeway and startup.
Pros: zero tick, good oil pressure
Ultra platinum 5w20, in the summer when I’m towing my boat a lot I’ll use 5w30 ultra platinum. That’s about it. The key thing is oil changes every 5k, do not do the 10k oil change interval
Pros: good for towing
2014 1500 with no tick (85k miles). New to me truck and I’m running Pennzoil ultra 5w20 with a Royal purple filter. I might switch to the redline but the PUP was more accessible to me. In theory I live somewhere it could be super cold this time of year but it hasn’t. Depending on when I do my next oil change I might do the 5w30 if it’s going to be hot for awhile.
Edit to say that 5k oil changes for me max. I did my first one at 4k because I didn’t know what the engine had in it and wanted to get something good
Pros: no tick, accessible oil
Mileage: 85000 km
I use Penzoil Ultra platinum 5w20 and a Mobil 1 filter. No issues so far, but I'm just closing in on 100k miles.
Pros: no issues so far
Mileage: 100000 km
Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum 5w20. Good deals on it ordering from Walmart and usually free next day delivery.
Wix 57060 filter
Pros: good deals, free delivery
Part number: 57060
I found out that most of it came from the valve lifters. So I began using Rowe 10W40 engine oil. That helped a lot.
Pros: helped a lot
Mileage: 230000 km
I am tuned in WI and running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30
Vehicle:
Subaru
