Pennzoil Gold Syn/Blend

[kstanf150]

Maybe there's been a discussion about this oil and I just missed it. Anybody use it or know much about it ?

From a respected company oil is oil.

It's better than good enough for your F150 at factory recommended intervals.

No longer have an F150
Now a 2018 F250 6.2L using QSUD
Curious about this oil for my wife's 2008 Escape

I used it regularly for a few years to satisfy the GM Dexos requirement (Malibu). At the time it was 50% syn, and priced reasonably. Not sure if that has changed or not. Ran fine for 7000+ mile runs, good mpg. No complaints.

It's alittle hard to find where I live but from what I can find info wise looks to be a good choice

I use this in my 14 fusion with 155,000 miles.

Usually it's easier to find the full syn PP for a cheaper price.

I've run it in 6 or 7 different fleet vehicles before. I don't have any complaints. A Walmart near me has five quart jugs under $18. If you can find it for a similar price, go for it!

I have access to quart bottles
But not 5 quart jugs as of now 🤨🤨

 

[daves87rs]

Wanted to try it...can't find it....

 

[kstanf150]

Walmart has Pennzoil GOLD in 5 quart jugs. Order on line and store pick up. Ed

It exceeds Ford's oil recommendation.

Whats the price difference between the PZ Gold and QSUD? If its closer than 5 dollars you might better off on Q.

 

[kstanf150]

Good question

I don't think I've ever seen the Penz Gold Syn/Blend stocked around here. TBH I don't think I've ever seen a bottle of it in person. Of course, Walmart carries it online for pickup, but I can buy PP for $3 more bucks and it's always in stock and frequently on rebate, so I haven't ever felt compelled to buy the Gold. Pennzoil's pricing confuses me - only a few dollars separates it's lowest price offering from it's "higher" tier. Usually drives me to buy the PP, especially when on rebate. I guess that's what they are hoping for.

Who told you it was 50% syn?
I have never found anyone at Pennzoil offices (during calls emails etc) to announce the exact percentage of synthetic in their jug blends.

 

[mdtaylor86]

If I'm remembering correctly, Pennzoil directly advertised Gold as being 50% synthetic when it first came out. It was one of the big marketing points on their website. Again, if I'm remembering correctly.

"T7" - The "50% Syn" used to be on the PDS. Can't remember if it was on the jug.
