Interesting VOA. PP appears to be unremarkable yet, it consistently yields excellent used oil analysis. PP is often recommended as an oil to used in those cars prone to fuel dilution. Is it possible that Pennzoil is doing some special or using an additive that is not showing up on VOAs? Just curious. Ed

I suspect they are using Esters.

Your welcome. Quite a bit has been posted about the Pennzoil Platinum suspected use of esters. Here and on other forums. No big news.
