Car is a 2013 Focus ST (2.0L Turbo I-4, Direct Injection) with 15k miles.
Oil was last changed 5k miles ago with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30. It serves daily driver duty, about 14 miles each direction to work, roughly 50/50 city/highway split.
Car sees a lot of high load/lower RPM usage (torque for days), and has seen probably 100 miles of what I would call very "spirited" driving (high RPM/boost) in the mountains of East Tennessee with elevated oil temps.
I believe the PUPPP to be a high quality oil that should be able to withstand that sort of treatment on 5k changes. Is there a better, easily obtainable oil that I am overlooking or would be better served using, and are my 5k intervals too cautious on this type of use?
