Now I'm confused
If G-Man II's bottles are yellow, they will not say synthetic on them, but, if they are silver with the little pour handle, then they say synthetic all over them. Depends on what product he has. And, G-Man II is correct about the base stocks and the 5W40 European Formula.
cvl what did you mean by Pennzoil agrees with you as well?
JUMPING JESUS ON A POGOSTICK!!! G-man says that pennzoil 5w20 is just as quiet as mobil 1 in his engine, and it turns into argueing semantics and wild interpretations, and now arguments on what the term "synthetic" means to pennzoil. Boy did this thread take a turn for the worse.
Geez, Louise! Talk about people for whom the concept is unclear. The G-Man II specifically stated that prior to using the Pennzy 5W-20, Mobil 1 0W-40 was the only motor oil that quieted his engine's piston slap. G-Man II went on to state that Pennzy 5W-20 at least equaled that performance.
Hey guys, I'm not trying to start an argument here. I understood and agree with eveything G-Man II said. I just thought there might be some confusion on cvl's part when he said Pennzoil agreed with him. I just wanted to know what that agreement is. If the agreement is that Group III is not synthetic, then cvl is wrong. Pennzoil's synthetic products are Group III.
That's it, just trying to clearify and educate. PEACE

Do you ever use a tuning fork on each cylinder at idle speed, then adjust your RX mixture with an eye dropper?

Why don't you take a Sharpie down to your local autoparts store and cross out the word Synthetic and scribble DINO on all the bottles?
Group III basestocks won the right to be called synthetic a while back. We all know the story.
G-Man II has less than 2000 miles on this oil. There is no reason why this oil cannot perform well over this short time. Read Johnny's description of it's formulation. It is not a run of the mill cheapo dino.
My thoughts exactly. Where's the :shortbus: emoticon when you need it...
I have looked everywhere for the Penzoil Synthetic 5W20 (Grey bottle with handle) and can not find it... who carries it?quote:
