The seventh star is the car . Yes it's true. That was the thinking.

Yeah that’s what I meant to type,”SOPUS” and was thinking about Shell for some reason
I think their email said “Shell/Pennzoil Products”.
What do you think the first 'S' in SOPUS stands for?
Standard. Like STP.
Or "Standard Oil Company"
So is it Shell Oil Products United States and that is who has been making Pennzoil for about the last 10 years or so, I don't know an exact time?

The post seems to insinuate that 5W-30 and 5W-40 are fine for 2.5 and 3.6 engines.
Yes so long as United States emissions equipment is not part of the equation.
Not to dig into the arcane art of necromancy, did you get your engine swap?
I was hesitant to post oil recommendation, as comparing a modern EJ-4 cylinder against my old '95 EJ-22, at best is folly. I deviated from the manual and fed her a Mobil-1 5w-40. I lived in a place that had three seasons; Hot, Fooking Hot, then Ice Storm. The kind that would freeze your car shut in a 1/2" of ice tomb... But not *deep* cold. Never a problem with that oil no matter the season. What killed her?
.>...*^.^*
I plowed her nose deep, too fast when rallying through some sugar sand trails in Florida into a mud puddle. That puddle was really a pit. I motored on, got her home 1200 miles away... But the hood latch was damaged. Months later the lid flipped up @ 75mph on highway 540, crushed the roof and windshield. Insurance wrote her off.
*sniffs sadly and pours out a shot of gin over her old Chilton's repair manual*

If the engine is a JDM I'd use Idemitsu. That's likely all it saw in Japan.
