Use good oil, always helps. Try valvoline restore and Protect. Quieted my engine down a little
Penzoil is the only "clean" oil. It's made from natural gas rather than crude oil. So that in itself is beneficial when talking about deposits left in your engine vs other oil brands.
For experience using pennzoil. Really good stuff
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
I've been using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum since the first change in my 2016. Prior to that, I used it exclusively in my RX-8 that made it to 154k on the original engine.
Original owner ran Pennzoil ultra platinum and that I got 289,000 miles on that engine and turbo before I had a shop rebuilt it.
Been running PU since with no problems.
I used to use Rotella T4 as recommended by many on the forums. It was fine but I switched to Valvoline 20w50 because it has the additional Zinc like the Rotella T4, and a bit better film strength which protects bearings at high RPM.
From my knowledge it doesn't matter what brand you put in. Just make sure its quality oil that's rated for your car and do oil changes regularly. I have used Mazda branded Moly 0W-20, Mobil1 Extended Performance 0W-20 and currently Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20. Honestly I can't tell the difference between them at all.
I used Valvoline synthetic in my first SHO, and I am using Mobile 1 in my latest SHO. I tried Pennzoil in my 5.0 (Windsor) and all the lifters started clattering.
