Then I bow down to you sir! But I'm still not changing my air filter again after 6 months, regardless if you tell me it's manufacturer specified every year and my engine will blow up if I don't.

That does not happen nor is it tolerated at my store. You could staff several stores with the people I've fired for unduly pressuring customers. Furthermore, our Otto care system has no mention of air filter change intervals for any manufacturer. Personally I change mine annually, or every 15,000 miles.

@Jiffy.. What are your OCI on your personal vehicles?
Pennzoil has been making great oils for decades now! What you are referring to, goes way back to the 1970's-80's and hasn't been this way since. But, the stories still linger!
Use Pennzoil and any of the other Pennzoil products with confidence.

Am I way off? Or is Pennzoil still up to it's old tricks?
You are kidding right? You work in the peripheral oil world and you believe that garbage? I hesitate to use the word "troll", but come on.
To answer your question directly, there are times BITOG is filled with PP leg humpers. PU sends some into an Arriana Grande moment. But yeah the whole wax and sludge thing, uh, no.

I run PP for 10k intervals. You could eat off my camshafts.

Im not buying it. With Pablo on this one.
You're fine running Pennzoil on BITOG, it's Castrol that you have to watch out for and it is the whipping boy here.

...and Castrol is just fine too.
jiffydarren,
I called Pennzoil 20 years ago about this, and they said they hadn't used Pennsylvania crude in almost a decade, but moved on to middle eastern and TX/Montana brew.
Some of their synthetics are made entirely of GTL ("gas to liquid", i.e. natural gas to oil synthesis).
So just how old is your knowledge about Pennzoil?

I, like the OP, never considered Pennzoil until I stumbled upon BITOG. Of course, at that time I was drinking the RP kool-aid. I would not hesitate to run Shell products now (I do, in fact, run it in all my OPE).
While certain flavors of Castrol don't have amazing specs, many of their products are also well respected here at BITOG (0w-30, 0w-40). They just have some weak links in their product line.
Welcome!

All I know about it is what my installer customers used to tell me while I was in the auto parts industry.

I'm curious did this so called Franchise ever send you to any type of Training or Schooling? Or Is it what we call-->On the Job Training= Do as I tell You!
I agree with wsar10.

{I would have a very hard time with a franchise telling me what I Could Sell & Not Sell}. Ya I would Suck at it! I would care to much about the customers Autos!
PP is a Great Oil!

Congrats on a well maintained shop, jiffydarren.
Concerning oil,
Any of the major oil brands will work just fine if used according to vehicle specs. Are there small differences here and there? Yes, and those are discussed on here all the time. But your avg JiffyLube customer just wants the oil changed, so would never know the difference.

I'm curious on why you choose that interval? How many months does it take you to get to 3k miles?
