Pennzoil YB or Havoline DS

[crazycrak]

Just wondering which one I should go with which one offers better protection quite start up etc
I plan on going 3-5k OCI in mostly severe service

The only Pennzoil I would use is the 5w40 Synthetic European Formula . I think it's the same as the Shell Helix Ultra.

what wt.? If its 5w30 I'd use havoline (chevron supreme) I have been useingthat lately and I think its a little smoother than the pyb. plus I used pyb for years and wanted to try something different and I can get chevron cheap at costco. It has a low viscosity for a 30 wt and it has lots of moly.

Flip a coin. Literally. They are both excellent Grp II+ dinos. Which can you get cheaper?

 

[crazycrak]

5w30

Both good choice. YB offers good cold cranking figures on the web site.VA does not get that cold but JAN is coming up soon. Havoline I believe is thinner. Always keep in mind that PP at Wally is just a few cents more than dino. Havoline is $3.19 at Advance Auto PP comes out at $4.00. Also keep in mind the $15 deal on PP this time.The five quart jug is $20 for PP less 15$ how can you beat that????

I prefer Havoline, but it's really splitting hairs. Probably the two best conventional oils going right here.

Choose the one on sale. Sleep well.

Use which ever is cheaper and be happy.

Both excellent oils, I would probably use the PYB from walmart,
because it is much easier for me to find. (Only AAP sells Havoline in NH, and none near me) And it is $11.50 for 5 qts every day.

Some WalMarts still stock Havoline, my local WalMart is stocked up with Havoline quart bottles that were bottled just last month.

Nice Dude ! I wish we got all the availability and deals on oil up here in the northeast that you get in the rest of the country.
Ex. no rotella or delo 10w30 up here only 15w40.
Not even at Tractor Supply Company.

Yeah,I wish I knew where to buy a case of Chevron Supreme too.(in 5W-30)

Should I date this blond tonight, or should I date this brunette?

Either way, it's a win...

 

[ryland]

That's a matter of perspective! I thought these were both good oils. lol

Also seeing that the brunette is married I guess the blond????

 

[Mark72]

Brunette would be the better choice guys... So Pennzoil it is
since Pennzoil is to the left and DS is to the right in the subject line. Go for the Brunette...much smoother, better color, and may even smell better.

 

[ryland]

so what oil would be the married one in this scenerio? I guess with as much play as PYB gets on this site it would be the village bicycle!

Pennzoil yellow = blonde
Havoline black = brunette

I have nothing against either.
