I recently got some Pennzoil HM 10w30 with the intention of using it on my next oil change in my non-daily driver Jeep 5.9L. It has had M1 or M1 HM all its life and now has 178k on the ticker and is retired as of last year.
I thought about sticking with M1 HM and just changing once per year or 3k (whichever comes 1st). But after much reading & many posts, I decided to go back to dino and maybe change every 6 months or so. So I selceted Pennzoil HM formula as the candidate.
Well I was in Wal-mart last nigth & I could not help but browse the oil section. I noticed that Maxlife is cheaper in the 5qt jugs than the Pennzoil HM and is also syn-blend oil. People seem to like both of those oils on BITOG, but I just figured it made sense to go ahead & use the blend and get the best of both worlds and pay a few bucks less to boot. People seem to say the additive pkg in the maxlife is top-notch, although I have never been a Valvoline man.
So my question is, what do you think?
The Pennzoil HM will not go to waste because my daily driver is another Jeep 4.0L with 76k and a seeping rear main seal. It usually gets Trop-artic but I can try the Pennzoil HM in it just to use it up.
How do you feel about these two oils and if you were retiring a daily driver to become an off-roader, and wanted to try something other than M1 HM, and you narrowed it down between the two mentioned, which would you be more inclined to use. I already had this inner debated and Pennzoil won, but the trip to wally world and the price made me think twice so I snatched up a jug of maxlife since I remembered about how people rave about it on here.
thanks!
