Pennzoil Platinum Vs Castrol Edge

[BUBBA0420]

For my 2009 Tacoma V6 Which is driven 90% on the freeway
which would be a better choice ? I plan on 4000 mile change
intervals. The oil will remain in the truck however for 6 months

Thank you in advance

If you like to do 4k/6mo OCI with mostly highway trips then any synthetic will be more than adequate, even brand name conventional will be good for that short OCI.

This will be the token response "for 4K, flip a coin" because its true.

I would go for whichever has the best price when you buy it.

Go for what cheapest, and that includes any quality conventional oil that's on sale when you go to buy oil. 4k mostly highway miles, that's easy on the oil

For those OCI, Pennzoil Conventional or Castrol GTX. If you want to use PP or Edge you can easily go 6-7k min. between OCI

I've run both in my Frontier(bought the cheaper one at the time). The one difference I've noticed is that the Castrol is thinner (my gauge shows slightly less oil pressure). 6k miles should be no problem for either oil.

Either one!
When you drain the oil after 4000 highway miles, bottle it up and send it my way. I'll run it thru a couple of strainers and put it in one my cars for another 4000... JK

Your only doing 4k OCI's? When your doing that kind of driving 5k on any conventional will be worth your while. Stick with something like inexpensive like Mobil Super 5000 and you'll be set for many years.

I would say whichever is cheapest. Glad to know that someone other than me changes their oil way to soon haha

IMO...You could run that Tacoma on any Store Brand Synthetic, API-SM, SN, ILSAC GF-4 or 5 with no problems for 4K mile OCI.

Auto Zone, O'Reilly, Car Quest, NAPA, SuperTech at WalMart store brands would all serve you well for 4K and save you a lot of money. Just load up when you see a sale.

I have more confidence in PZ products. PZ has also been a nice site supporter and has provided BITOG with a lot of good info.

PP is $18.75 for a 5 quart container at Walmart here in Wi. Tough to beat that oil at that price...,

 

[shpankey]

Both are fine but I personally like Edge better so that would be my choice of the two if you broke my arm.

At 4k oci's run Pennzoil conventional. Why? Because its in a pretty yellow bottle! lol No really at that interval run any sm or sn rated oil you want and you should never have an oil related problem.
