Pennzoil Platinum 5w30?

[tyman]

That’s a win 5x’s at least.

It’s exponential, not linear.

Cool way have thinking.

It's been awhile since I went into an AA store. I saw 5qt jugs of PUP for $40.99 and PUP qts for $12.99 (may have been $13.99 can't remember). I didn't know PUP was available in stores.

This is when you are more than happy you have a stash that has a cost of under $20 a jug!

When it comes to Pennzoil Platinum and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 I have heard that it is not a solid 5w30. Is it true that it is a extremely weak 5w30?
My truck calls for 5w30 and it has 148k on it and I want to make sure I'm taking good care of my truck.

I don’t think Pennzoil would insure a 500k mileage if they weren’t sure on the oil.

But yes it’s slightly thinner but thickens over time. I only use platinum and ultra in my boxer engine with great results. I also put about 100 miles a day on my engine as well. With no issues. I do like running 2500-3000 then drain and refill while changing filter every 6000 miles with great results.

Also PUP is 38 dollars on the Walmart app

Just be sure to shake up each jug before pouring in your engine as the additive package supposedly is that sediment in the bottom of the container. Otherwise you will be pumping this sediment and it’s caught in the oil filter. Good oil?…..

PPPP 5W30 makes for a fine winter oil .

Summer too Chris.
The two best selling brand names in SN+ and SP 5w30 are Pennzoil Platinum and Mobil-1 Vanilla.
I seriouly doubt America's vehicle buyers are getting those two choices wrong.

I have a year and 1/2 of Pennzoil Platinum jugs for 2 cars in my stash.
I like it,- buy it and sleep well.
Get a premium filter, don't go cheap.

I started my Accord with it this winter at -6 Fahrenheit and it was the easiest cold start I've ever had.

That's because it's so weak

Fahrenheit kicks the snot out of Accords all the time.

Our Kia or Hyundai won't even get into the ring with Fahrenheit.

Penn Plat 5w-30 used to be my staple oil in my cars that were calling for 5w-20. After learning about and trying Penn Plat Euro LX which is 0w-30 I'm not going back, not even interested in Penn Ultra Plat. Price is basically same, still running same OCIs.

What is a HUGE Mileage Oil?

I am switching to PP HM 5w30 @ my next oil change 50,000 miles, in my 2020 Ford Edge 2.0 It starts out at 100c cSt 11.0 with 7,000 mile oci. I think may be better for the turbo. PP is on sale right now for less than $24 for 5qt jug #Walmart and Pennzoil has a $25 rebate thru Sept 2024 on 2 jugs. Brings cost down to less than $3 per qt.

Do you think the PP HM 5w30 would shear out of grade in a 7,000 mile OCI ?

 

[JRATT]

Do you think if I switched from Pennzoil Plat. to Amsoil SS 5w30 that I can drive a full year 6-7Kmiles with my 99% in town driving?

I would just stay with the PP , Amzoil is not worth the price.

The regular PP 5W30 Is 9.8 cSt and they both comply with Ford requirements. I live in Montana and want to stay with the 5W30 for cold temp. Going to try the HM & Send the oil for analysis to see. The only reason I do a 7,000 mile oci is it is one oil change per year. Some years I only go 6,000 miles. Been using PP 5W30 since after the first oil change using Mobil 1 5W30. I noticed a tic tic tic noise after 7,000 miles. No tic tic tic with the PP 5W30 Last 4 oil changes. A friend who is a mechanic and works at the local Ford dealer said I should be OK. I will update after oil analysis.

The Amsoil Extended Line is good and 100% Synthetic and with the preferred membership price it’s right in line with the all the GRP III oils on the shelves at Walmart AutoZone ETC. and shipped right to your door . I’m using my CoWorkers membership it’s been great so far
