Penn Plat 5W30, 7,580 miles on oil, 2017 Civic 1.5T

Since Dexos 1G2 the API/ILSAC varieties of Pennzoil Platinum have had significantly less calcium and more magnesium, the old SN version had more Calcium closer to 2500ppm, if that was a Pennzoil product that came from a modern jug like the only product that matches the UOA is Euro L.

Maybe I did pick up a jug of Euro L... who knows, but I doubt I would have missed noting that tidbit of info in my oil change notes. But as they say, the proof is in the pudding... and this looks like Euro L pudding right?

I know there's the PP dexos in there right now, so I guess we'll see what the UOA looks like in the next 3-4 months.

This definitely looks like Euro L.

Or blackstone swapped your sample with a different one.

I hope not... but nothing is impossible... right?

Seems like Blackstone is always pushing people to go farther on oil changes.
