Great, thanks Tom!

 

[Pajamarama]

Thanks!

Been waiting for a VOA of the new PP. Looks good to me!

Look at that Pennzoil Platnium Pureplus... 9.02 TBN and 9.1 NOACK.. was waiting to see this.

 

[wemay]

Well, now that there's an apple to apples comparison, PPP seems to be no worse/better than PP. Still a stout oil.

 

[Patrick0525]

Not much difference between PPP vs PP. Wow!

 

[wemay]

On paper at least.

Why are they only testing 5w30s?

They aren't, scroll down and you'll see many other grades. Some more 0W-20s and 5W-20s will be out next week.

Duh I remember that now. They posted a buyer beware back when the Valvoline NexGen 5w20 had too high of a NOACK.

More specifically, why no 10w30s? Unless Im missing this too. Lol.

Or monogrades, or 20w-20s, right?

I have a feeling the PP tested by PQIA in 2013 was already using a GTL base because it's virtually identical to PPP.

I hope they'll test PUPP soon since it had the highest spike in NOACK and supposed to be higher than PPP.

Just did some digging and the Shell GTL pearl plant started shipment in 2011 and was fully capacity by 2012: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_GTL

It's very likely that Pennzoil Platinum and Pennzoil Ultra manufactured 2-3 years ago is already using a GTL base.

PQIA has done 10w30s and straight 30s.

Focus is placed on the largest selling grades, and often presented in grade themes, e.g. a set of 5w30s or a set of 5W-20s. Less common grades will have their turn again.

Great information on the new oils, especially PPP vs the old PP. I can't wait to use this oil in my 2014 Mustang GT for its next oil change.

 

[daves87rs]

Good stuff....

Looks like Kroger's oil and Menard's oil (national) seem to be some decent oils..

 

[Apollo14]

Is there anything in the PurePlus base that we would expect to show in a VOA?

 

[Revving2Redline]

Well the 9.1 noack of pennzoil platinum gtl works for me. Anything above 11 and I get shaky.

 

[Brybo86]

I would love to to see a bit better organization and/or easier way of viewing oil comparisons on the website.

holy boron in the super-s!
