vs
Engine oil PENNZOIL or ZIC
Synthetic oil change is now $125 at the stealership so Ibu my own 0/50 Penzoil and a high quality filter every year, and vacuum out the Hybrid Traction battery filter myself
Pros: DIY maintenance
Cons: expensive dealership
0-20 pennsoil synthetic with a wix or napa filter
Unless you are tracking the car you aren\u2019t going to see a difference. I use Pennzoil ultra platinum and a wix filter on my daily\u2019s.
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, better than mobil 1, but also I am pretty sure all oil is within a few percentage points of performance anymore anyways, and it really doesn't matter as long as you change it when you should.
Pros: better than mobil 1
I tried 10W40 in my car as 5W40 was beyond my budget at the time and it's been great.
Pros: great performance
Great oil, I go with the Ultra Platinum. So far it's been the absolute quietest (based on subjective valvetrain sound) and smoothest driving oil I ever used. I tried OEM, Valvoline, Castrol. Nothing was as smooth as the Pennzoil even after a few thousand miles. I still change it every 5k for peace of mind.
Pros: quietest, smoothest driving
Mileage: 5000 km
I swear by penz ultra platinum/euro platinum in my cars. Really good anti wear additive package in that stuff.
Pros: good anti-wear additives
I use Pennzoil Platinum. It's made from natural gas, a cleaner base than crude. My engine loves it. Minimal consumption between oil changes and no leaks.
Pros: engine loves it, minimal consumption, no leaks
I went with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30. 20k on the clock of my 2023 and it doesn’t burn a drop of oil. I changed the oil at 1k and 3k after that and it always comes out looking beautifully.
Pros: no oil burn, looks beautiful
Vehicle:
Subaru
Pennzoil UP was on a sale and I bought 15 quarts, my Sierra dropped a lifter within 200 miles of the OC and switch, related, no way, will I ever use Pennzoil UP again, no way.
Pros: bought on sale
Cons: dropped a lifter
Mileage: 200 km
