    My local Wal Mart's in Utah stopped carrying Pennzoil Ultra. I have been buying it there for the last two years due to my local O'Reilley, Auto Zone and Napa stores never did stock Pennzoil Ultra. Most people were not willing to spend the extra $5.00 for Ultra over Pennzoil Platinum. Many of...

    Using Pennzoil Ultra now might switch to Mobil 1?

    I have a 1997 Honda Civic HX and 2003 Chevy Cavalier which both use 5W-30 motor oil. I have been using Pennzoil Ultra full synthetic 5W-30 in both cars for the past two years, but it is now not sold anywhere locally. Wal Mart recently stopped carrying Ultra in all the stores by me. I am a huge...

My mechanic warned me about Dex Cool. I completely flushed my cooling system, replaced the coolant overflow cap...
