I am confused. LOL... Just use PP or PU and everything will be just fine. Ha ha ha.
New Pennzoil ULTRA PDS

This is why I picked up a jug of SN Ultra 5w-20 to use in my car once I put a bypass filter on it. This oil is approaching Amsoil territory.
I wish they'd wake up and get a 0W20 and a 0W30 PU to the market place. Wake up Pennzoil!

Pennzoil Ultra (2012)- excellent ESTER-based oil!

Okay, I'll bite. How did you determine that PU is an ester based oil?

I called Pennzoil and told them about the old Ultra PDS link on their website that is found on their home page. The person I spoke with thanked me for letting her know about it and she is planning on updating it.
She said the specs from the May 2012 PDS are current. In that case, Ultra is probably the best PCMO right now available in certain grades. The lowest NOACK available, and incredible performance on the IIIG/IVA tests.
With NOACK volatility that low, they must be using GTL or PAO.

The Ultra MSDS' first line is "Fischer-Tropsch derived base oil,...". Fischer-Tropsch is a key process in creating GTL products, so that'd be my guess.

Ultra Euro 5w-40 PDS was also recently updated. VI went down, but so did NOACK, from 10% to 6.8%.
New HT/HS: 3.88 cP, up from 3.68 cP previously.

I'm sure the new low VI will give CATERHAM a seizure

No doubt.
It has about the same VI as GC.

Yeah, I'll avoid PU because despite showing superior cleanliness results in the demanding IIIG, and performing well on other ASTM tests and meeting the most demanding OEM specs, it has a lower VI.

Kind of similar to changes Mobil 1 made to their 0W-40 with the API SN reformulation? HTHS went up slightly, VI goes down a bit, NOACK % drops, right?
Must be something driven by those crazy German performance engine manufacturers.

Maybe they've found the turbos need it.
I hate CAFE - they are making our oils thicker.
