Why is it not ideal for GDI? Why do you say it's high calcium and more carbon buildup, when it's low saps, Dexos2?

I already ran the straight PUP 5w30 and it seemed to thin, more engine noise so I thought mixing it with the higher viscosity PPE 0w40 would raise viscosity plus give it a higher TBN, and lower SAPS than running the straight PPE for less IVD.

PUP has much less phosphorus than Euro L but it's not low SAPS? A full SAPS high TBN oil doesn't protect better longer than a low SAPS low TBN oil?

I have several jugs of PUP 5w30 and PP Euro 0w40. The PUP is low SAPS and the PPE is full saps so would mixing the two create a mid saps oil and be better for deposits on a 2.0 GDI turbo than just using the PPE alone? I noticed more engine noise on cold starts when using straight PUP but less...

Just curious because the owners manual for my 2.0 turbo GDI engine requires SN+ or SP. Is this a good oil for my application?

Why is Pennzoil Euro L 5w30 still only SN rated? It's new stock with a production date last month 8/22

NOACK for PUP is 11, PPE is 6.8 according to this, https://autocareaids.com/pennzoil-ultra-platinum-vs-euro/

I wanted to know if the PPE 0w40 in the VOA is SP.

PP Euro 0W40, just want to confirm this is SP rated?

The veloster sounds like a fun car if you can live with the looks. That thing gives new meaning to the term *****, on par with the Nissan Juke, makes me think clown car. Now the CRX was a good looking car, and [censored] if optioned with the ZC vtech engine.

Plasma has by far the best picture even better than 4k. Plasma is the best until OLED is affordable. I can't stand the sooo opera effect you get with led lcd. Get a Samsung plasma while you still can, best buy still has a few.

My Costco gas station just got the new additive package and it is easily 20 cents per gallon cheaper than other convenient stations plus I get another 10+ cents a gallon off using my Costco Amex card, which means I'm saving 30+ cents a gallon, and the car runs great. The only time I've ever...

The CS tested is SN, but since all the other oils tested were SM they show the SM standards. The picture of the bottle is what they actually tested.

CS has higher boron and phosphorus, PYB has higher moly and zinc. Probably the two best dino oils but for some reason my cars have always run smooth as silk on CS and rough on PYB or PP so I stick with the CS. Other reasons I like Chevron is it's American made they pioneered isosyn technology...

My current oil stash cost an average of $1.50 a qt. and I have enough to last me about 17 years, but I can't stop thinking about what the price shock is going to be when I go to buy oil in 17 years and it's $20 a quart.
