Thats a pretty bold statement with not even 1 example to show if it is anywhere near accurate.
I would think a UOA on Pennzoil Ultra would let us know how long this oil could go.

Mid next week we will have my UOA. I will be dumping monday and overnighting to [censored]. depending on how much tooling around I do in SD it should be between 7800 and 8100 miles when I return in the F150.This will be a pretty good test. My wife drives it like she stole it and it's not a little honda car.

I would say Pennzoil did enough testing under a variety of conditions to be able to give that answer. I imagine they do hire some decent chemical engineers.

It is a bold statement, and I don't have any proof it can go that far, but I trust Shell. The oil has a nice starting Tbn and is their premium offering so I think it's safe to assume it's capable. Time will tell.

I would disagree. It is just two different marketing approaches.

honestly i dont suspect lower wear numbers compared to redline that it was on before. Maybe better retention though. I guess we shall see. i'm going to cut the filter also. I dont suspect anything there as the engine should be spotless already

Mobil says "Please follow the recommendations in your owner's manual while your car is under warranty." in re: to EP.
Amsoil doesn't. I guess the volume is relative. 8)

For some reason, your original post was censored.
I said b-s without the dash so the censor picked it up

Did you happen to get the name of the person you talked with?
