I found the site by searching Google for "Pennzoil Plantinum Product Data Sheet".
The site will yield sheets for any Shell product and is easy to search, with fast loading PDF pages.


Thanks.

Comparing the sheets for PP and PU, I found that Ultra has the slight edge over Platinum in the 5w30 flavor (MRV of 13,000 PU to 14,800 PP), just like you stated.

However, in in the 5w-20 flavor, it is Platinum that has the edge over Ultra (MRV of 9,700 PP vs. 11,700 PU).

All MRVs cited are at -35C per the PDS.

This is very interesting and educational stuff. Amazing to learn of all these variations within the same families, the same consumer grades, etc.

Winner. I'm going to hopefully pick up some this morning that will be nearly free after rebate. Might get some Defy also to create a moderate mileage syn blend.


Those Defy bottles have the most unique styling of any bottle I saw in the Walmart shelf.

From a marketing excitement point of view well done to the designer.

However from a concept point of view, I think the average consumer is not going to figure out its a high mileage oil without some more work.

I can almost see rebellious teen racers picking it up because of the name and look on the bottle.

Where/how do you get the rebate?

All three are great products and will provide excellent lube protection. QSUD is $21 for a 5 quart jug. Sold !
