I have 3 kids w cars so my fleet is up to 5 now. 4 of the cars recommend 5w/30. Can I standardize them all to the same oil? The Penzoil Euro 5w/30 w the BMW LL01 (ACEA A3/B3) certification looks like a deal at $21 for 5 quarts. My four 5w30 cars are:
1) 2010 Ford Mustang 4.0L v6 w 110k. No oil consumption
2) 2011 Mazda CX-9 w a Ford DOHC 3.7L v6-135k. Burns a quart every 4-5000 miles
3) 2015.5 Volvo 2.0l turbo w factory defective rings. 100k. Heavy oil consumption (Volvo has their own certification and/or ACEA A5/B5 that several mechanics have told me not to worry about)
4) 2009 BMW 328i 3.0l 6cyl with 120k. Newest car to the fleet. Minimal or no oil consumption.
Would the Pennzoil Euro be a good choice for all of the cars? Any cons to the Penzoil Euro BMW grade oil going in the Ford V6 engines? Or Volvo? All 4 cars I’ll be changing at a max interval 7500 miles. The Pennzoil price point is attractive. Any other oil you’d recommend to standardize to at a similar price point? Higher price point?
