pennzoil ULTRA PLATINUM 5W-30 OIL

[AVIDMOTION]

Finally found a great dependable oil that is not crazy expensive and actually can feel a difference when using it. My favorite is still Amsoil but my go to oil is now Pennzoil Ultra platinum 5w-30. Nearly as good as Amsoil but locally sourced easily or off Amazon. It is really clear too. Do some research on Google or Bobtheoilguy.com
As soon as I put it in my stock lifters stopped making noise. I swear the car runs smoother, idles better, runs 8 degrees cooler on Avg and is a true 7500-10,000 mile oil change schedule. I change when convenient between 5000 and 7500.
I have since traded in my G8 and n pi w run a tuned 2013 Ford Taurus SHO with performance package. I just recently changed the oil and again it smoothed out the motor and it got a lot quieter. I found deal for 6 qts and a filter with free shipping on amazon for less then 50 bucks. Pep boys has the Platinum which is nearly as good in 5 qt jugs for 33 bucks.
Just a fyi...

Oh God, Henry is going to see this! LOL
He told me he would send me a case. I haven't held him to it. Yet. Glad the oil is working for you.

Yea, it the first time I can actually feel and hear a difference. I was impressed when it quieted the stock lifters but when it really quieted the SHO's notoriously busy sounding 3.5 l I was really impressed. In both cars I noticed it smoothed out the motor too. I really like it.

I've used pu before, that's what's in the g8 right now with a top of the line napa filter. Good stuff.

Haven't bought it since the formula changed, however...

I usually use mobile 1, but I think I'm going to try the penzoil ultra and a pf48e my next change. Walmart has the 5 qt jugs for about $28.

interesting, I have a different experience with the nat gas oil ...

Been running LS30 in my LSA'd L76 for two years. Decided to do an oil analysis while it was dormant this winter. Drained the oil then realized I didn't have inventory of LS30 I thought I had ... so, filled with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum so I'd have oil in the car to be able to move it if I had to. Move ahead two months, the car has been started few times, bought up to temp on fluids, driven less than a mile. My LS30 arrived, swap it out and, well, filled my pants. The oil that drained out was light brown chocolate milk colored -same as if it had water mixed into it, think what you find in the catch can. Radiator was full, IC rad was full, and just over 8.5 quarts came out exactly what I put in, just oil smell. In 40+ years I've never seen fresh oil come out like this -expected a little darker golden brown, not milk. Since my levels all are good, including drain, I assume it's condensation.

BTW, I let that oil sit weeks and it never separated the water out.

^^^^ Was the consistency normal?

[jcmGT]

seemed a bit on the light side, less than a 30 weight. I've never seen oil do that. I was if the crankcase was a 9qt catch can... just didn't separate out. FWIW, I refilled with LS30, car was still dormant, follow same routing and when I pulled a sample, it was normal.

It's "very" good oil. That "gas to liquid" technology makes it 99% pure in crude form (it actually looks like water). So when they add the additives - the additives are able to perform better in that "purer" crude environment. What I personally like most are the additives' emphasis on anti wear & keeping the internals "clean." For what I spent on my engine rebuild, supercharger and all the other stuff -- I really want the good stuff.

Thanks for the reminder! Just sent a note to the marketing crew about getting this for you.
