pennzoil home brew

[tweeker43]

well, after the last oil sample i thought i'd go for something a little different. since we don't have enough data from home brew, i'd thought i'd kick some in.

i emptied the mobil 1 at about 4800 miles and sent it in for analysis, then reloaded with 2 quarts pennzoil synthetic and 2.25 quarts of pennzoil purebase (all 10w-30). i will be sampling at 5000 miles, then pull the oil or leave it in depending.

if that sucks, i'll just keep sampling different oils and posting analysis.

what the **** , it's all in the name of science.

sorry beat ya to it....

Well not exactly. But I got the 50/50 thing going!
Pennz LL and Amsoil 15W-40 are in now. I think they are mingling just fine in a nuptial kinda way....

pablo, yer my hero - in a non-nuptial kind of way.

i had some coupons for pennz, so i started here. hopefully this works.

I just did a drain and put in a mix of Delvac1300 15w-40 and Mobil1 5w-30 at 4:1.

Unfortunately for the wait (but fortunately for me

), my commute just got cut in half (was 82 miles/day) so it'll take a bit longer to rack up a decent OCI.
