After my fill of Carquest/Amalie 10w-30 HM Synthetic I plan on running 15-17k, I was wanting to do another 20-22K OCI. I was thinking a synthetic SN rated 5w-40 like Delo but was also thinking of running a 10w-30 Pennzoil "PurePlus" Platinum to see if the "Gas to Liquid" bluster has any veracity. What do y'all think?
Gonna do another 20K OCI, what would you like to see me try?

Hmm wouldn't be a bad idea to test the gtl limits

Thank you for sacrificing your own vehicle to this type of test. What vehicle, year & engine is it?
Also, will you list any make-up oil during the oil change interval as this can help the longevity of any OCI.

Beat my Fram Ultra run at 27k miles
Change the oil regularly though.
I was at 3 oci.

I was at 3 oci.
Why stop there? Why not just leave it and NEVER change it?
"Sacrificing?"; seems like you have predetermined the result (j/k); How about "offering?"
How about "offering" up for "sacrifice"?
The most interest would be to do a Pit Crew Oil change for $19 and do a UOA at 20K.
I did 25k on that filter. It was a 25k oci with amsoil SS. Finished with a tbn of 2.8

Super tech synthetic.
Use something available on the shelf and obtainable nationally.
Don't use some boutique or mail order stuff like Schaeffer... .

This.. A common synthetic that is readily available to most folks has the most value.

Does your car have a timing chain or timing belt? God help your timing chain if you have one, if you have a GDI.
