What one oil would you pick if only one could be had?

[burbguy82]

For me it would be Valvoline Premium Blue 5w40, all my stuff could run on it, gas and diesel, well not the 4 wheelers.

 

[burbguy82]

Schaeffer's
HPL
Torco
Amsoil
Royal Purple HPS

The only oils that are allowed in the garage.

picky?

 

[02zx9r rev2]

Amsoil or M1 esp 5w30

I've got Pennzoil Euro LX in my 6.0 gas Chevy right now. Same oil and great for cold starts but yet has a bit more kinematic viscosity than the non-Euro Pennzoil Platinum. If there are no more Pennzoil rebates in Canada, I may go to the Motomaster product.

I was hoping to go the Pennzoil route too, but as you said, there are no rebates right now. The next Pennzoil sale starts on February 8th at CT, but even at 25% off it is still $5.00 a jug more expensive than Motomaster 0W30 on sale.

ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul. Translated into English: One oil to rule them all, One oil to find them, One oil to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

There you have it. Straight from the elves pointy ear: Mobil 1 0w-40

Good old Canadian Tire has moved the regular price of Pennzoil synthetic oil past $50 CDN for 5 liters. Inflation I guess.

Yup! But, I think oil has taken a particularly hard hit though.

I remember in 1984 my dad showing me a case of Castrol GTX he scored for a $1 a quart. Converted to 2023 dollars, that's $2.58.

Today, a 5L jug of GTX at CT, will set you back $6.60/L + enviro fee... and that's 20% off the regular jug price! ... Thanks Justin!

Pennzoil Ultra.

How does PUP compare to PP?

We ask this question from time to time about everything... Like:

If you could only have one car, what would it be?
If you could only have one pair of shoes, what would they be?
If you could only have one meal, what would it be?
Etc...

Well, if you could only have one engine oil, what would it be?

Kirkland 5w30

 

[Yuk]

Kirkland 5w30

Good stuff, I just don't think I would use it as my "one and done" oil. Doesn't meet enough approvals for me.

The best sale price I've ever seen for the Kirkland oil is $4.23 CDN/litre. I've discovered that I can buy Pennzoil Euro LX 0W-30 for about $5.50 CDN, twice a year at Canadian Tire. The Pennzoil seems like a better value, for me at least.

Been using since 1975....Mobil 1...

 

[Tyro_2004_2004]

Mobil 1 15w50

 

[Patman]

If I could pick any oil ever made and just run that in everything, it would clearly be German Castrol 0w30

 

[Yourhomiematt]

Well mobil 0w40 works in basically every gasoline engine made.

 

[Rogueman2016s]

Pennzoil platinum is mighty fine these days. However Mobil 1 is tried and true so hats off to Mobil 1.

 

[Slick3914]

Mobil 1 5W-30 for me

I'll look and see if I have any kicking around my basement... I haven't checked behind my furnace.

Not really. It's higher calcium makes it a poor choice for a lot of turbocharged and/or direct injected engines, so that leaves out a lot of today's engines.

 

[wpod]

It is still M1 0W-40 .
