Pennzoil 'Heavy Duty' 10w30

[jjbula]

Johnny,

Just read specs of the Heavy Duty 10w30

web page

HTHS 3.5

Beats the regular oil and is, in some ways,
better than the synthetic (Group III)

Some will poo poo the HD diesel purpose of the oil,
but I like it

Haven't seen it at Walmart. Where do you find it?

jjbula: It is an excellent oil. I personally believe the ash content is a little high for the average passenger car gas engine. The only problem in getting this product would be you would have to find a distributor that carried it. At this time, it is only available in bulk, 55 gallon drums, or 5 gallon pails. The distributor in your area would be Jackson Oil Company.

Thanks,

I'm not ready to bulk order it though.
Thought it might be a less expensive alternative to Delvac.
For those worried about shear or a car seldom driven,
this looks like a great choice

I see the 1.5% sulphated ash. What is a good rule for max ash % in gas/diesel oil when only used in a gasoline engine?
