I run Penzoil Euro Platinum 5W-40 because it's regularly on sale at Canadian Tire.
2010 Passat B6 with the 2.0T ea888 gen one engine. Different car, same engine. I run Pennzoil euro 0w40 in mine. 6-8k on the oil changes. Engine is quiet and smooth. 136k on it.
Just had my first oil analysis with penzoil platinum - black rock said I won’t need a change for around 5k miles with it
I've been running Pennzoil *Ultra* Platinum 5w-30 for the last 15k.
S52B32, 5W40 Rotella T6
I use rotella 15w-40 in every vehicle I own. From my Miata to my XJ, no issues
I use Madza OEM filter with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 every 8,000 km to 10,000 km.
I personally like the Pennzoil over the Idemitsu high moly oil but it's mostly due to being more available in my area.
I do think the Pennzoil is slightly better fuel economy wise and comes out cleaner than the high moly but this is probably a placebo than anything.
Honestly I wouldn't have the guts to run it for that long. I run Pennzoil full synthetic with a Purolator boss filter and I still do changes every 5000 miles.
Pennzoil platinum high mileage full synthetic 5w-30. I work at a Toyota dealership and this is what we use and is recommended. It's flows well and has great wear protection. I used to use mobil 1 but this stuff is 10x better. If you do a little research it shows this stuff performs/flows better then most oils.
May get hate but I use in both of my is300s Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection SAE 15W-40 Engine Oil the first oil change is nasty cause it has more detergent but after that you have much cleaner oil changes from that point forward.
