Well I was thinking of switching to PU, but now that I found this it out I will stick to PP. Good advise to original poster of thread.

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.

Ok I checked it out. The PZ Ultra is now $25. Walmart must have rolled it back because it was moving slowly I believe.

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.

Originally Posted By: ItsuMitsubishi hey revelation, those 2.2 5SFEs are pretty decent engines. The S block has been around forever. From working on the sludgers, I've concluded that the crankcase ventilation is very poor, and this causes a great deal of vapour buildup in the head, which cannot...

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...

I also found an article today on google that toyota has come out offcially and has a list of engines that are pron to engine sludge. Toyota also said that if your engine is on the list they recommend you use SYNTHETIC oil in those effected engines. Below is the toyota engines that are prone to...

moto94536 - I dont think its worth switching to synthetic for you because first off, you have a 2006 camry and so far has had no problems with prone engine sludging. My engine from what have read is prone to engine sludge because of a fualt in design on the pcv valve witch they made to small for...

You sold me on the synthetic. I just dont know if I should go with the platinum or ultra?
