Maybe this has been spotted before, but I was looking through Pennzoil product datasheets for 0w20, 5w20 and 5w30 and saw that in the data table, they no longer claim Platinum meets ACEA specs. Platinum Ultra datasheets do list ACEA standards and in fact they are the most recent years.
However, in the text for Platinum product datasheets, they seem to have done a copy / paste from older versions. This may just have been laziness when putting the new datasheets together.
So I wonder if the ACEA performance level is now the difference between Platinum and Ultra and if it is, then I guess that Ultra competes more with Mobil 1 and perhaps Platinum has slipped to the standard of Mobil Super Synthetic.
