Highway miles with long drives are actually easier on the oil then short city drives.

I see a lot of people are saying these are made by premium guard. The last 2 I got were made in South Korea. Could Pentius be making some of these?

Simple economics. The base oil for motor oil is a fairly small part of the expense for making a jug of oil. Additives, marketing, licensing and distribution make up a much larger percentage.

I did 2 oil changes last night and a transmission drain and fill. Wife’s 2023 civic sport Out: Supertech 6607 filter and Valvoline Restore and Protect 0w20 In: Mobil 1-108A and ESP 0w30 Transmission fluid changed with Aisin ATF-HCV My 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid Out: Supertech 3614 and Pennzoil...

Very very similar without the guarantee of GTL base oil

The quaker state will use whichever blend of group 3 is available for the best price while.the Pennzoil platinum and ultra platinum.exclusively use GTL base oil. The add pack for Quaker State Ultimate Protection is very similar to Pennzoil Platinum but does not.have the borate esters of the...

I mean, I don’t usually borescope my engines. But no visible varnish or buildup. And the oil comes out after 5k miles a nice medium brown.

I find the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum keeps my engines fairly clean. I got a ford fusion hybrid last year and cleaned it up with Valvoline Restore and Protect but have been running PUP since then.

198,500 miles. I change oil ideally every 5k miles. This one was a bit closer to 6k. I think 5800 miles because of the work travel. Runs smooth and doesn’t burn a drop of oil. Does need motor mounts though

2017 ford fusion hybrid. Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 out and Pennzoil ultra platinum 0w20 in with a Microgard Select 51516.

I would go for 3k miles given the lack of oil change history for parts of the cars history. After the first change I would say you can safely run 5k or annual intervals.

30-60 percent. Same as regular group 3. The combination makes up 90-95% of the oil. Can change from batch to batch due to supply changes as well.

2017 ford fusion hybrid Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 and a Pentius PLXL3600 oil filter.

I would agree with this statement for the most part. My car loves it. Pennzoil ultra platinum would also be a great choice

Nothing truly sticks out. Good pour point but overalls just a good Dexos rated oil
