Switched from Castrol 0W-40 in my 3.2 Liter Audi A4 B7, waiting on results of first Used Oil Report, I will post results when available
Pennzoil Platinum Euro 0W-40 VOA
- Thread starter stspinner
- Start date
Very similar to Amsoil 0W-40 but with tad bit less Moly & Boron!! Thanks for sharing this stspinner
Another euro with lower calcium [ I would guess for LSPI.]
Tks, I have six quarts of this oil in my Saab 2.0 turbo motor right now.
It’s good oil. I run it in my 2005 F150 and my 2022 Lincoln Aviator
I buy mine at Menards, it is great stuff that is API SP rated no less.
Low SAPS with phosphorus over 900 and zinc over 1000? Did you actually read the analysis? This is mid-SAPS.
The analysis was for the Castrol 0w40. I believe he is awaiting the analysis for the Pennzoil product.
The VOA report says Pennzoil. He switched to this from Castrol. He is waiting for a uoa but this is the VOA.The analysis was for the Castrol 0w40. I believe he is awaiting the analysis for the Pennzoil product.
You’re right. He has the VOA for the Pennzoil and now is waiting for the UOA.
Oil is Pennzoil Platinum Euro 0W-40 NOT Castrol NOT 0W-30 , Car has 187,700 miles on it OCI was 4,350 miles.
My 2 cents I'm very impress by the results, I redacted the previous oil test as if was just a flush with Mobil 1 5w-40/15w-50 I had around.
Just wanted to share results, I am on a second run with the same oil as I drive alot for work right now so test will be every 5 to 6 weeks. I will run a 4000-5000 sample of Castrol 0W-40 through it after 3 or 3 cycles of the Pennzoil.
Hope this clarifies the original VOA post

Menards has if for $7.29 a quart, Buy it from Walmarts deliveried with tax for $53.95, in September it was $42.84 delivered for qty.(2) 5 quart jugs.
Even at the current price delivered to my door for $5.40 a quart is a graet deal.
Where is the manganese coming from?
LOL, it is full SAPS oil. Low SAPS don't have such robust TBN.
Have two jugs of this I'll be using this winter, looks very good. Impressive that it also lost no viscosity.
