So, here is my first UOA! They say to go another 1000 miles and get another but I'm trying to save some cash here...how much further do you guys think I can go?

The UOA looks pretty good. You could probably run the PP 8-10k easily in this car, but if you really want to save money, just run regular Pennzoil conventional, or another conventional, and change at 5k - 7.5k miles. The wear results will be every bit as good and possibly better, and the engine will probably outlast the rest of the car either way.

I think you could go to 8,000 miles with plenty of TBN left. PP has proven to be an outstanding oil with plenty of TBN reserve.
For your set up PP should be able to get you to 7500 miles quite easily, dino could go out to just around 5000 miles typically. I'd run the yellow bottle in your climate and UOA every third oil change with the money saved. :2cents:
How long have you been using the 5w20 in the Mark VIII?
I just sold my '95 Mark VIII to my younger brother, it did well with Pennzoil Conventional 5w30. 100k and doesn't burn a drop of oil.
