QS Full Syn vs Pennzoil Full Syn

[oilchangeguy]

Are these 2 oils basically the same?

 

[BMWTurboDzl]

That seems to be the opinion of the board in general.

 

[Escape08]

Since both are from the same oil company.... it's Sibling rivalry

 

[tasch72]

no. QSFS carries Dexos approvals that pennzoil black label does not

The ratings and approvals will give us the basic standards of an engine oil. I am not positive we can guarantee the xyz brand is the same base oil /additive blends as the same XYZ oil made with the same ratings as a batch made a year later.

Let’s put it like this: both are GTL (gas to liquid base oil).
Pick whichever is cheaper.


This has been beaten to death here lately. Somedays I seriously just shake my head.

Most of the OTC oils are pretty similar. But are they the same? no.

QS full syn is Dexos approved. Pennzoil is not.

PP is not DEXOS?

QS full syn is Dexos approved. Pennzoil is not.

Besides, is the OP vehicle call for DEXOS approved? The plot thickens

He said Pennzoil full syn, not PP.

Would QS Euro with MB 229.52 not be better than Dexos anything?

You sure Pennz black label is GTL?

If you go back and read the Pennzoil FAQ page they state they didn't see the need for dexos approval. I read it as they didn't see the need to spend the $$$$.
If you read, and believe, the Pennzoil PDS of these two oils, they are the same. QS will be cheaper with the plain Jane bottle.

What I don't understand is Pennzoil 0w-40 Euro is Porsche A40 approved. Porsche only allows 5w-40. 0W-40 is Porsche LL01.

Incorrect

There are numerous 0W-40 oils that are approved for Porsche A40.

 

[kschachn]

And what is Porsche LL01?

Incorrect

Recently went to the Porsche A40 approval site and they were all 5w-40 including Pennzoil 5w40 but none were 0W-40.

Sorry. Got my German cars mixed up.

Do you have a link to the A40 approval site?

From Mobil's website, here: https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/find-an-oil-for-my-vehicle/porsche/

• 0W-40, 5W-40 and 5W-50 advanced full synthetic motor oils approved against Porsche spec A40
