I'm about to change oil again! I'm currently running Pennzoil Platinum 5w20. I want to use a synthetic but don't want to pay the difference. Super Tech Synthetic is $1 more than Pennzoil Conventional. I run Pennzoil Conventional in my other vehicles. Is there much of a difference between the two?
PYB or ST Synthetic

Super Tech synthetic is excellent oil, at least the Warren blend sold in MI.
Listing the car, displacement, driving style, trip duration, etc might help others help you.
I would choose Super Tech synthetic over Pennzoil conventional.
Find out who blends Super Tech synthetic in your area.

IN two years I've not spent more than $5 on a FIVE-QUART jug of Pennzoil Platinum 5w30...$1 per quart...
SuperTech full synthetic is the sleeper oil of all sleeper oils.

What will this do? Sorry engine rarely fail. When engines fail lubrication is only a small fraction of a percentage of the reasons why engines fail.
Cars are here to service owners. Owners are not on this earth to service cars. Also how do you know Supertech Synthetic is not as good as more expensive synthetics?

Then again you are the guy that buys the most expensive PCMO on the shelves and changes it at 2K even after the data states that you are wasting time, money, resources, for the sake of vanity.

Run the synthetic. Less deposits on your piston rings, valvetrain area.

I'd run the Pennzoil conventional.

ST is a good synthetic. You guys are missing out on a great oil.

Are you here to argue? I agree, engines rarely fail. And the OP asked, syn or conventional..I gave him my opinion. No more 2K oci for me, I have learned a lot on this great site. Done!

How long do you intend to run it? Are you a short tripper?
