I despise the Pennzoil/QS jugs.
Nothing wrong with the oil.

Who uses Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic?

I use it when it is on sale/rebate. It holds up and works as well as any other oils I have used. The engine runs very quiet and smooth...even quieter than M1 and Valvoline (but I have no quantifiable evidence to support this claim).
Well I used it in my old Toyota Carolla got some 5w-20 on sale with a rebate it ran just fine and the final cost with the rebate was $4 a Jug. I'd use it again for $4 a Jug.
Use it and QSFS all the time, QS more the PP but it is just as good as all the others in its price point.
I use it in the wife’s Elantra, currently in there now, if I buy it on rebate. Overall seems like a good oil, good starts in winter. Only issue I’ve had with it is that it’s consistently the only brand that burns off in that car. About 1 quart over 5k miles. Tried 3 different viscosities, same results.
Running PUP 5w-20 in my 2021 Ram Rebel with the 5.7 Hemi. I went back and forth between PUP and Valvoline EP. Decided to stick with PUP. Seems like perfectly fine oil. Only 7500 miles on the engine but no issues as I would expect with any oil. I buy 5-10 qrts every time I see it go on sale on Amazon.
I have used the 0w20 for years in a 2010 Tundra it’s been in my 2020 Tundra a few times. My wife’s 4Runner has used it for many years as well never an issue.

I have used 5W30 for about 10 years, and always have gotten rebates. I also will get M1 when there is a rebate. Nothing wrong with it. There was one time when there was a code on the caps for the rebate, and I got opened oil which I returned. People in the supply chain stole the codes. M1 has a foil seal, but PP does not.
Well you must have a secret I'm only 1 for 3 on Pennzoil rebates.

I've noticed rebates are very fast these days, like IRS tax refunds. It's all electronic. The only catch? The $25 was in the form of an e gift card. So I took 2 amazon gift card codes, which to me is like cash since I am an amazon customer. Took like 9 days total since submission. In my entire life, even when rebates were by US mail? I've only not gotten 1--from Compaq Computer, remember them? I filed a complaint with consumer affairs in TX, who said we don't handle that.
Great thinking with unassailable technical reasoning.

Pennzoil isn’t my first or second choice and I’m not sure why because it’s perfectly good oil. I think it’s because when I think of Pennzoil I am reminded of Jiffy Lube and a bad experience I had with them years ago. Or maybe it’s the color of the bottle, yellow is my least favorite color.
However, I couldn’t resist a recent “sale” at Walmart and I picked up 6 jugs of PP for a couple bucks each. I just used one in my 2019 Kia Soul and so far so good.
I mirror this post. Picked up a good amount of that same "sale." I used in in my 17 3.6 Subaru which up til now okay saw Mobil 1 after ff.
Im on second 7k oci. Smooth oil and no burning. Mobil 1 would barely burn any oil either. UOA coming for 7k oci in October.
How can you dislike yellow? If you alternate PZ and Magnatec jugs, your stash looks like a John Deere...
In answer to OP - I use it, Ultra platinum in my mustang and PPHM in my wife's Hyundai and my Jeep right now.
Probably been using shell products for around 1/2 my oil changes for quite some time. Never an issue - and I always get the rebate which is more than I can say for Mobil 1.
