Stick with Petro-Canada Dino, or move on with Penzzoil ? If so in what Penzzoil will be better ? Don't suggest Castrol GTX,I don't trust them, but hey its only personal

Do several UOA's and when you are on the third or fourth one, I would imagine that you can make this decision for yourself.

What's your beef with GTX?
 
My beef , mostly perception, I doesn't like their marketing. I dont like the way the make you work to get their tech data sheet.

Finally, I didn't like the black kind of powder sitting at the bottom of the 2x4 litre jugs that I bought few years ago.

When I looked at your UOA, I thought 75%X5,000 miles= 3,500 miles of around town driving.
I'd switch to 10W30 Duron and compare the results.

I believe that Chevron and PC lubricants are very similar, except that PC's lubricants are formulated with our colder enviroment in mind.
PC's 10W30 is only a 10.1 cSt when new, Duron 10W30 is 11.3
 
Alright Friendly...if you're gonna give me a hard time about my liking of Pennzoil Long-Life, then I'm gonna start giving you a hard time about Petro-Can...

Jelly,
That is only because Costco quit the yellow stuff a couple of years ago.
They have RX Super now, which was not CI-4 until last month, and only in 15W40.
Would I pay $46.00 for a pail of Duron if I could get Penz LL for $12.00 cheaper?
Not.
Sometimes PC gets carried away with what they think their products are worth.
My last synthetic purchase was a case of Chevron 5W30 for that very reason.
