I had a micro-hoard of if that I used in my Scion tC. Cool stuff - almost like antifreeze. Supplies dried up and had to move on...

120k miles later still going strong on the Pennzoil Platinum and Purolator (Boss) filters. Nothing but batteries, tires and a serpentine belt on 8 years+

2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. 126k miles. Pennz Platinum Ultra 5W30. Purolator "Boss" filter - first run of this newer model. Still runnin' like a top. Had to get a new muffler as some CA FWY debris shredded it. Went with a no-baffle, stainless model to free up some spent gas. Pennz has proven to be...

Toyo FJ Cruiser, 111k Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 Got a free Fram Extraguard, so I used that instead of the usual PureOne filter. She's running like a top. Going to change over the 4Runner as well - she's got 252k (V6) and running like a champ too. I can usually get the 5qt bottle and a free oil...

2007 FJ cruiser. 76k miles. (new) Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 PureOne filter Thing loves this oil. I change 5k-7k depending on what I've been doing, but this time I'm on 8500 miles. Seems good and clean still, so why not... Happy New Year BITOG guys!

New Pennzoil Platinum, natural gas iteration. 5w30, 5.3 quarts. Purolator PureOne filter. 2007 FJ Cruiser loves it.

I've got close to 1k on the new oil. I really like it. I've been around long enough to know there's many psychological benefits and butt dynos but I think it's smoother than ever with it in. Didn't have the Ultra in the five quart jugs yet so I started with the lower cost iteration this round...

I picked some up today in Pasadena. Someone had put them behind the "old" Pennz Platinum (5qt jugs). I got two of them for $37.95 each, plus two PureOne filters for the FJ. I opened it up, and it does smell a lot different to me. Interested in seeing how it performs. Will be changing out this...

My son is 21, just got his first wheels - a '66 T-Bird. Learning and trying, and I love seeing it. He really enjoys it and of course it makes me feel great. Some things we don't have the tools for, so he's taking it in to get some things done at a local shop, but he's doing more than all but one...

New stuff here in Pasadena - but only the Quart bottles, not the 5.1 Qt jugs. I have a change coming in a few weeks - want to try the PUP. About $9.70 a Qt now.

Just back to report the FJ is a happy camper. Been using Pennz Platinum every 5-7k miles and a PureOne filter. I see there is a new Pennz oil now so I will be trying that in the next month or so when I'm due. Got the driveshaft thing fixed free under warranty and it's been great for over a year...

2007 FJ cruiser. 62k miles. Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 PureOne filter Thing loves this oil. I change 5k-7k depending on what I've been doing.

Are we talking the newest Pennzoil oils I've seen advertised? Seems too new to know, but I am curious as I use Pennzoil Platinum in my FJ cruiser and am due to chane in a few weeks. I've been really happy with it so I guess I'll use this new blend - although there are two now, so does anyone...

Thanks guys for the replies. Good info as always. I did register on toyota's site when looking for the fluid specs. Found the one owner had done all the maintenance on schedule for the first 30k miles, then the dealer did the 35k during the toyota certification process. I'm doing the xfer...
