vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or ZIC
I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum because it is GF-6A and API SP full synthetic motor oil which are the latest and greatest standards.
Pros: latest and greatest standards
I use PENNZOIL PLATINUM but brand is up to you !
Pennzoil ultra premium is the best overall considering price, pennzoil euro is even better if they make it in your w-viscosity rating.
amsoil is the best period but is also expensive. recommended for commercial driving where you run your car to the limit racking up hundreds of miles per drive.
A lot of old guys recommend mobil 1. Mobil 1 loses to even walmart supertech, amazon basics oil, valvoline, etc. in the wear metal tests so that's my reason for avoiding that one
Pros: best overall considering price
Cons: mobil 1 loses tests
I’m running Penzoil ultra platinum 5W-30. The instructor I drove with said he runs 5W-30 in his gen 1 BRZ track rentals.
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
Zic M9 10w40 fully synthetic ako for Honda Click. Changed oil every 2k km. 29k odo and never pa ko binigyan ng problema
Pros: no problems
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 2000 km
Have an 07 Silverado bought new first oil change switched over to Mobil one used that until one of the hurricanes hit Louisiana and started having a problem getting it so switched over to Pennzoil full synthetic. Truck has 368000 on it and seems to be still going strong so I’d say it’s your choice.
Pros: truck still going strong
Cons: problem getting it
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Silverado
Mileage: 368000 km
I use Pennzoil Platinum. Is it the best? Who knows, but I’ve been using it for years on several vehicles and never had an issue.
Pros: no issues for years
I’m using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, really helped how effortless my acceleration is and gas mileage.
Pros: effortless acceleration, gas mileage
I tried to use the Pennzoil high mileage full synthetic the most, but if I didn't have the bit extra for it, I'd get Walmarts generic full synthetic high milage. I always used a Fram full synthetic filter too, they were the only ones around me that were better quality and decent price for the time. Mine got to 200k no problems!
Pros: better quality, decent price
Mileage: 200000 km
I got an oil change with Pennzoil 5W-40 Euro, which I was not too fond of, because the light weight of the oil made my lifter noise sound much more pronounced.
Cons: made lifter noise pronounced
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
