Engine oil PENNZOIL or Total
I only use Pennzoil platinum ultra. Only the finest for my baby.
Pros: finest quality
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 150000 km
Penzoil full syn platinum on my 02 and she’s chillin. I’ve never had issues
Pros: no issues, reliable
Vehicle:
Subaru
I usually buy Pennzoil, it's inexpensive and it works. I check the contents first to make sure the oil isn't full of gunk in case someone swapped it. I do oil change every 5k km, which is once every 2-3 months, hence I don't worry much about too much gunk as I flush it out often.
Pros: inexpensive, it works
Cons: check for gunk
Mileage: 5000 km
I use the Penzoil Platinum Euro LX Full Synthetic 0W-30. No issues past 2 oil changes.
Pros: no issues
This oil has good parameters and depending on your driving habits will require change 6k-10k, but if you can perform changes more frequently - even better.
I can personally recommend ***Total Quartz Ineo FDE 0W30****.* This oil has even better specifications than *Petronas.*
Pros: good parameters, better specifications
The oil for our car is VW 504.00/ VW507.00 the 504 spec is 0W/30 and the 507 is 5W/30 only difference is fuel economy and the 5W/30 is the better choice i have used Penzoil Euro Lx for 0W/30 and oil does get by rings so might see puff of smoke on initial start, but with the 5W/30 Total nothing.
Pros: better choice, no smoke
Cons: smoke on initial start
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I’m using Total 5W30 and pretty satisfied with the performance.
Pros: satisfied with performance
I flip between Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Motul X-Clean both in 5W-30 depending on if I order ahead of time online or just go to the store/dealership for parts. Both have been good, just make sure to keep up on maintence schedules and you'll be fine with pretty much anything
Pros: Both have been good
Vehicle:
Subaru
Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum 5w20 and WIX 57060 (non XP) filter. I bought my truck with around 40k miles, it now has 90k and have had no issues with the motor changing the oil every 7500 per Blackstone's oil analysis I sent in not long after I took ownership.
Pros: no issues with motor
Mileage: 144840 km
Part number: 57060
I used Pennzoil before but felt real cheap quality and used to get darker before the competitors. I moved to Mobil 1 or Castrol GTX and felt the difference in smoothness.
Pros: felt difference in smoothness
Cons: real cheap quality, darker
Vehicle:
Toyota Highlander
