Engine oil PENNZOIL or Total
I run pennzoil 5w30 ultra platinum. ... PUP is great for direct injected turbo. Anthony (Dmann) told me that PUP 5w30 is the way to go in western PA
Pros: great for direct injected turbo

Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 247837 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
I tried pennzoil and didn't like it. The engine developed a soft tick after about 3k miles. Went back to Castrol and the tick hasn't returned.
Cons: engine tick
Mileage: 3000 km
