Hey guys going to be changing the oil in the suburban soon. I can get Pennzoil PLatnium, Mobile 1 Full Syn, Castrol Edge, and Mobil 5000 all for 25$......Which of these would be best for Chevy Engines? Planning to run the oil 6 or 7000 miles.
Which Synthetic Should I buy

It is spelled Mobil, Pennzoil Platinum would be a choice that would work. Mobil 5k and PP at the same price is showing the Mobil 5k is over priced. Go to a Walmart it will teach you alot.

The cheapest as long as it has a specific recommendation for your exact engine. Each company site has an oil finder page to check and the Castrol, Mobil and Shell ones work well in engine type list terms.
It's worth doing a single UOA with TBN to figure out the correct OCI.

I like Pennzoil Platinum the best out of that group. Ty 8300 miles or 10 months
those prices of 25$ were from my local wallyworld
The best one is the one you perceive to be the best is the best.
Also i should say I only drive about 7000 mi a year so i will probably change it once a year
For 7k miles or 1 year OCI, I would use lowest price synthetic that I can my hands on.
All of them will reach your goal and perform well, but I would choose PP or M1 out of your choices.
If I could pick any oil for your burban it would be M1 HM.

I highly doubt a conventional oil in a 5qt jug is going to run you $25. Anywho, M1 gets my vote.
For Pennzoil's 20wt and 30wt oils I definitely prefer PP to PU.
Great UOAs, very shear resistant and grade for grade PP is lighter with higher VIs. Plus it's usually cheaper.
Compared to M1 I generally prefer PP but it depends on the grade.
