I just thought i'd share my great experence with pyb. My 2003 silverado has been ticking for about the last 5000 miles and nothing i did would quiet it down. It would also seem to consume almost a quart every 1500 miles. I have used gtx in the past mostly. I switched to pyb after lerking around bitog for so long. It seemed a perfect fit for my 4.3 vortec. I have been running pyb 5w30 for the last 1000 miles and i love it! It has almost silenced the ticking sound, and has burned absolutely NO oil. I think i found "my oil" and for 15$ an oil change, i guess you cant beat pyb !!
PYB is the BEST

alot of folks on here have consitently, you can't go wrong with pyb & a wix filter esp for the price.
I've found that PYB reduced the whole piston slap at start up in my 5.3 chev. For the price its great oil.
Best however is very tough to actually prove. With so many different applications and drivers what works best for one driver isn't always ideal for another,even when used in the same model vehicle.
I'm happy that you found a product you like and is working well.

Right on. PYB was in one of my old engines when a stuck ring got freed up.
Good stuff.... enough
It's got a good helping of calcium too, always a good additive.
My Son has been running PYB in his old beater Mercedez. The car runs much smoother on this oil. He's real happy with it. I have been running the HM in my Ranger and will continue to do so. While my engine wasn't real noisy to begin with, It's quiet as a mouse now.
Several other Jeepers and I have not been able to find any oil that runs quieter in the old 4.0 than PYB. Great stuff, very smooth too!
Gonna run PYB in my Trailblazer when I dump the GC that's in it. Only put that in cause it was $3 qt.

I'm one of them. Can't go wrong with either of them.

User name Toto posted a UOA and listed the Moly at 237. So I'd guess it's the same from PYB UOAs I have seen.

I wonder about folks enrolled in the Pennzoil Warranty Program.
I think QS was doing something like it too.

I did with my G and the PYB. Obviously, though, with my current fill, that's out the window.
I have a 2000 Silverado 5.3 and the ONLY reason I went with synthetic oil was to try and quiet the piston slap I have. I know people say the whole piston slap thing is over blown, but it's annoying as anything if your the one stuck with it (especially those that live up north in winter). I switched from PP to PYB after running it over 5 years and 125,000 miles and my truck seems quieter on conventional. Oil looks the same as synthetic after 3,000 miles so far on OCI and hasn't burnt a drop that I can tell. The new SN version is great and much cheaper. It worked well for me. Congrats to you.
