Me too. It sure was purrdy. Heck I am just getting around to using PP for the first time. Always seem to be a generation behind.

Save lots of arguing, discussing, science and fun.
Come on now.


The bottom line this guy's statement is right. Al the arguing is about miniscule diffrences - none of which will make an iota of difference to 99.9% of us here.

Don't know about 'endorse', but moving in that direction.

Ford's all-new 412hp 5.0l V8 "Coyote" engine (and the 305hp 3.7l V6 as I recall) for the 2011 Mustang is spec'ed for 10k miles oil changes using mineral 5w20. The sump capacity is 8 quarts though.

FYI... I spotted this at my local China Mart in northern Va today. Pricing is $28 for five qt jug and just under $7 for singles. Also stocking Rotella T5 10-30 at $16 per gallon.

Wow, BITOG on Pennzoil literature. That is impressive! Does that make us lobbyist?

I mean let's face it, in the grand scheme of things this is really not important stuff to talk about. LOL.


No kidding [censored] is going on in here? lol My Gawd.... I'll bet most of the guys on here are the types that lubricate their trash can axles.

What?

You don't lubricate your trash can axles?

Since I started lubricating mine, it only takes me 30 seconds to get to the curb instead of 45 seconds.

I'm guessing you don't want to hear about what I do with my bike chain?

I know, it's crazy. Heck, Shell could save their advertising budget and just refer everyone to this website.

 

[ThirdeYe]

In that ad, it says something about getting a Ferrari cap if you buy Pennzoil Ultra, anyone know more about that?

I lube the chain and tracks on my 20 year Garage door a few times a year. I'm the only one on the street that doesn't make an obscene amount of squeaking and god awful cracks and bangs every time I open the garage door!

Then there's lubing the rubbers door seals on the car, mountain bike chain, all door hinges in the house... oh my.. I guess I do have a problem

Now that would be worth $28!

I'm looking forward to the Canadian launch with reasonable pricing.

I have not seen an actual ad. I believe what was posted is a sample sales sheets that some ad agency has made up for Shell to review. I keep hearing rumors about a March 1 release, but your guess is as good as mine.

I agree, I've been wanting a Ferrari hat and they tend to cost over $28 alone!

I've taken to lubing my snow shovel so that the blade slides more easily through the snow,
also increasing my snow removal productivity by 17% by switching to synthetic over dino.

I can see the bike chain and garage door. I too lube my garage door. lol

 

[Odysseus2010]

Can't wait to see the details on that - wonder how many caveats there and and if it is as much a "guarantee" as the Valvoline one.... Probably requires factory recommended OCI.

Yes, but do I follow a 50 TCI (trash change interval) or a 100 TCI?
