I would just use PZ platinum or Ultra. How can you beat PZ platinum for $19.99 for a 5 QT jug at walmart? You have low miles & I see no problems changing to PZ platinum or Ultra for your vehicle. Just my 2 cents. I would just do PZ platinum oil with a purolator oil filter classic.
Where did you find Ultra for $25? I went to walmart and it sells there for about $28-$29 and change for the jug. A few dollars difference I guess it's no big deal though.

Remember, ultra is $28 compared to platinum which is $20. $8 bucks more?? what are you getting that is so great and more significant over the platinum? I dont see it. I need to see it in proven tests that ultra is that much better then platinum for the extra $8 bucks. I could care less that a...
