I was told by a pennzoil tech via e-mail that ONLY Pennzoil Platinum meets the chrysler MS-6395M specification, their dino oils do not. The odd thing is that quaker state 5w-20 meets the chrysler spec. As to blackhondaaccord's question, I don't know that one is better than the other, because no one seems to know what the Chrysler MS-6395M specification really entails (if anything). They are both highly regarded oils, and I've used pennzoil in my honda in the past without worry.quote:
They meet all the same 20wt specifications for those 3 car makers you listed. Pennzoil has turned in several impressive 20wt UOA's.

If not, then you can expect a false answer sometimes. We've seen it happen here at BITOG several times. No proper name attached to your email can result in "any kind" of answer.
Well, I stand corrected, but I did notice that the product sheet is dated March 2006. I believe it was sometime in March when I got the e-mail. The tech probably just looked at the old data sheet and left it at that.quote:
Per the Pennzoil conventional motor oil product data sheet:
Meets or exceeds Chrysler MS 6395 specification (SAE 5W-20, SAE 5W-30 and SAE 10W-30)
Pennzoil Yellow Bottle Product Data Sheet
This is a bit of a mystery specification, as no one has ever confirmed what the spec addresses beyond the normal GF-4 parameters.
