I recall someone on here saying that Pennzoil Platinum 10w30 has a great NOACK and is almost equivalent to an SAE 30, can someone confirm this? Can the same be said for Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 10W30?
 
I've got some Pennzoil Platinum 10W30, but no way to test the NOACK. If anyone has access to the equipment, I'd be happy to send a sample for the board

I have some too. I've used it twice on an Ecotec for the girl that cuts my hair. Her car runs great on it. (2015 Cruze) it doesn't burn any at all between changes and she definitely doesn't check her oil, let alone add any.
 
NOACK values (%)

Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20: 14.0%
Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20: 13.2%
Pennzoil Platinum 5w30: 12.5%
Pennzoil Platinum 10w30: 9.7%

Pennzoil Ultra Platium 5w30: 6.6%
Pennzoil Ultra Platium 10w30: 4.8%
I GOOGLED Pennzoil Platinum NOACK and this was availiable. Ed
 
PP is a fine oil, I've ran the 5w30 for several changes in my GMC w/ 5.3 and in my Civic which I just switched over to the HM version with the last oil change. Years ago I used Castrol GTX then switched to Mobil 1 but it burns off easily in Honda's and then PP became all the rage and was a lot cheaper than Mobil 1 so I switched.

I've used Suxxsziol over the years in fact they even paid me 1 out of three rebates just so you know what your getting into.
 
Johnny, I think you should complain some more about it. You've definitely got the worst luck when getting rebates of everyone I've seen here. I bet it was even intentional they picked you! Exactly how many years ago did this occur?

I generally consider a rebate a bonus if I get it, because I don't buy things that I wouldn't otherwise use just because of a rebate.

I'm also pretty sure that not getting the rebate doesn't actually affect the product, other than a negative confirmation bias that the oil now "Suxxs" because they screwed someone out of a rebate. Are you 65 going on 8?

I have never been denied a rebate from Pennzoil, and I have done atleast 10, something is wrong if you don't get your rebate.

Pennzoil is a standup company in my book!

LOL your book isn't on the best seller list here. I hate seeing multimillion dollar companies screwing people out of hard earned money.

YUP - Like hens teeth to find it on a shelf.

Expensive as well - you can get all kinds of neat stuff at 50 bones for a 5 er.

Too much to run on my Honda where I follow the MM which usually has me dump at about 7000.

Sometimes rebate stuff is handled by outside companies and they don't like PO Box ... use your street address.

I use PP 10Wx30 in summer. The car sounds super smooth with PP.

I buy PU Online from Walmart w/o any issues. Order $35 worth of stuff from Walmart and it gets shipped to the house free. I'll typically have at least a 1 year supply on hand so I have the opportunity to wait for Rollbacks and/or rebates to replenish my supply. Occasionally AMZN has a good deal on PU as well.

Except in Canada, it's very easy to find, Canadian Tire has it (and they have thousands of locations across the country). Usually we're the ones that have hard times finding certain oils and filters, but in this case it's the opposite.

So you're saying they should change the oil name to Pennzoil Ne Plus Ultra Platinum?

I just order all my PUP from Walmart as well and have it delivered free. I have noticed Walmart is the only place I can reliably find Pennzoil Ultra Platium 10w30; Amazon sellers either don't have it, or want $50/5qt. Walmart has it for $24.97.

In Oakville? Hamilton is always out both at Partsource and CTC.
