Code: Below is a UOA I received after a 7200 mile run on Penz Gold 5w30. I bought the car used with 14k, likely a rental unit. I change the oil every 5k Since with Penz Platinum (except the last OC). Would you be concerned with the results of this UOA? ELEMENTS IN PARTS PER MILLION MI/HR...

I see it more and more and notice it meets dexos 2. Is this a good oil for a 7k run? Any comparison to pennzoil platinum who I will likely stop using when dexos 2 is mandated for GM warranty. Thanks

Went to a website stating the list of approved oils is changing for dexos warranty soon. It seemed at first glance they were eliminating most syn blends and paring down the approved oils (I assume many companies don't want to pay to be dexos approved). Based on how I read this list only euro...

Seriously, I can't find it anywhere. Are they phasing it out or just lousy marketing?

If I do a 6k run non severe driving on a pennzoil gold semi syn vs a platinum full syn would you think it would make any difference over a 300k engine lifetime? In other words do you think I can get that much out of my engine either way? Many of the bitogs seem to get wound up about how long...

Since I bought my pennzoil gold I noticed a week later on a return trip to Walmart the price difference between the full syn (Castrol magnatec) and semi syn (pennzoil gold) is virtually non existent. For a 6k interval do you think there is that much difference for a buck or two? Can a pennzoil...

On a 30k mile chevy equinox on a 5k oci. About 50% highway miles. I plan on running the car for a few hundred k. Does spending the extra $5 for platinum get me anything special or would you stick with the semi syn? By the way, how do you guys feel about pennzoil gold? My understanding is it...

Bought an old chase car from work that has 250,000 miles on it. Almost all highway miles and I know it was serviced every ten k with good synthetic oils. However it now has a small leak and I was wondering if anyone could make a good high mileage recommendation? Also, at this point does it...

Coming up on an oil change and was wondering if there is any problem cleaning my garage out by mixing 3 pennzoil gold 0w20 and 2-3 Mobil full syn 0w20? I run them 5k. Until I got some gold on clearance I didn't even know they made blends in 0w20!

2014 cry 4 cylinder with only 17k miles on it has a noticeable clicking on startup and clicks when revved up. It goes away after about 20 minutes. Took to dealer who agrees it clicks and replaced the high pressure fuel pump. It made no sound for two weeks and now it is back and worse than ever...

Just bought a used one and I'm not sure what oil change history the car has had. I plan on keeping it over 200k. A lot of highway and city driving in a northeast area. Thanks!

They seem to be a throw in on all aap store ads. Can I put one in a 7500 oci with confidence or are they a tear concern?

2012 Honda accord. I am crazy about changing oil and am at 30% life on oci at 6k. Just curious to see if I can go to 7k and do a uoa and not do any harm to engine. Thoughts? I guess this really gets down to my not trusting the oci indicator. Yes, they are mostly highway miles.

I see some specials that combine oil with them. I always figured the regular stp filters were junk. What do people think of the extended filters?

Aap has a sale on this combo for $30. I have a 2012 accord and 2015 Acura RDX. I usually do pennzoil platinum but am thinking of loading up on this combo. Thoughts for this on both vehicles?

I want to go 7k OCI with Pennzoil Ultra 0W20. Would anyone think it a problem to keep a Fram Ultra on for two OCIs or should I change with a cheaper OEM Honda filter at 7K?

I bought some Honda filters on sale. My olm states I'm going to run about 8k and I have penz platinum in there so I'm not worried about the oil. The filters i hear are the equivalent of Frams and I'm wondering if the filter can last that long safely?

I see 5qts on clearance for $21. Anyone think it would not be ok to use in my Honda for 6k oci?? Seems like a good deal

Is there a mileage that bitogers can all agree on that is a minimum OCI I can run my 2012 4cylinder Honda without being wasteful? I drive hard both city and highway about 75 miles per day. I use oem filters and either Mobil 1 syn or pennzoil platinum (platinum seems less noisy) I think I fall...

Since vacation my car has been sitting in the cold northeast for a week. It had an oil change 1k ago. Is there anything special to protect the engine after its been sitting for days upon startup?
