I was in Walmart* the other day and noticed that 5 qt jug of PP(not PUP) was only ~$1 more than the "new" ST FS 20,000 oil. Which would be the better oil?

Pennzoil Platinum at Walmart

The one with the better looking bottle.
Yup, I gotcha!
The PP is $18.** at my W*M for the 5 quart jug. IDK how long it will stay at that price.
Certain M1-EP varieties are on Rollback right now.
Last week, I picked up 2 jugs of the 10W-30 for $24.47, and then there’s a $15 rebate, per jug.

Depends on how long you plan to have the oil in use ? Does the vehicle have a GDI engine ? If a GDI engine I would chose the Pennzoil Platinum for : Less VII's , lower NOACK , probably lower ash content and I would only be using for a 5,000 mile OCI . If the vehicle has a MPI engine the ST 20,000 mile oil and a good filter would be fine for say 7,500 to 10,000 miles (I would never run a 20,000 mile oil longer) .
ST is Dexos approved that pennzoil is not I would stay away from that oil
Wrong. PP is D1G2 approved.
well in that case hoard it up cause pp is $22 while 20k st is $17-18.
You must've seen an old bottle or formulation. The newer sn plus and sp PP are dexos approved as they cut back on the calcium and use more magnesium now which is the main feature of a dexos certification the lspi protection.
Are you sure you weren't looking at Pennzoil Full Synthetic (with the black label)? My walmart has it for $19.**
Pennzoil Platinum (with the silver label) at $18.** is a good deal, but I would favor Supertech if you're buying 5w-30 viscosity because PP 5w-30 starts out on the thin side of 5w-30.
Quaker State Full Synthetic is also very underrated for that price range.
Depending on your application like already stated -- if that close in price -- PP ALL DAY!!!!
Nope, no GDI, just regular port injection.
I'll have to look again as you may be right. I though the yellow jug said Pennzoil Plat but, I only looked quickly while I was getting some ST Brake Clean($1.94/can). Kinda has me wondering if some customer put back the PP in the space of the PYB???
I've been using ST FS 0W20 in the 12 qt box for both the Alt & Civ in my sig. I've been real happy with both the product & price but am always looking
for a good score.

QS Full Syn(a.k.a. QSUD) was my go-to oil until WM made their Full Synthetic oils so reasonably priced thus, becoming my new go-to oil especially in the 12qt box. However, QS is always on my radar.
And yes, I went back to WM again to check that price of PP for $18.67 and it was actually the Pennzoil Synthetic which I have never seen before as someone had placed jugs of PP in that space.

If you're not doing a 15k + mile service interval, I'd say PP is the better option than Supertech FS 20k... for the same price.
PP at my local Walmart is $22.98/jug. ST FS 20k is $16.48/jug. A $6 difference. Are you saying at your local WM's that PP and ST FS 20k are the same price??
