Pennzoil Gold 0w-20

[Mathew_Boss]

The Specs look amazing. Better CCV than PUP or PP, better MRV than Valvoline Synpower, better pour point than Synpower, Havoline PRO DS, and QSUD.

The only thing that looks bad is the Flash Point.

What are you guy's thoughts?

looks like some GTL and a shot of some PAO with those specs.

Here's the tough part... can you actually get it, without buying it over the internet?

GM (with its dexos spec) seems to be pushing the drive away from conventional, and towards semi-synthetic for warranty purposes.

As a result, we're probably going to start seeing an marked improvement in the numbers on the semi-syn blends.

I've been using Gold for a few years now in everything that I drive (from a Town and Country minivan, to a V-10 powered motorhome), and I honestly don't see myself ever going back to Platinum.

There's little reason for me to even use Platinum. Since SOPUS likes to screw me over on the rebates, I'm not buying it anymore.

mrsilv04, as a matter of fact I have been building a small stash of this stuff, purchased ,believe it or not, at my local grocery store (ingles). They keep a complete stock, in 0w20,5w20, and 5w30. Cost is $4.98 a qt,so overall maybe little more expensive than a 5 qt jug....but I buy a qt every week when I buy groceries, so my purchases outstrip my use, so my stash builds slowly. My '14 F150 3.7L really likes it for 7500-10k use (mostly highway).

The only Gold I've seen has been the 5W-30 variety. I look forward to trying the 0W-20.

I'm in North Carolina too...probably just the choice of each store manager as to what they stock..

Yeah my local distributer sells it in a 6 gallon eco box for $115

If they were smart, they would start stocking it, since more and more automotives are speccing it, if shelf space is limited, them 10w40 could go.

 

[travlnman]

Agreed...I'll keep buying it a week at a time, that way if it sells good, hopefully they will keep stocking it.

I get PZ Gold 0w20 at my local oil change location.

 

[Shellguy]

This stuff is impossible to find around me....(although walmart carries 5w30 which i may try in my f150 5.4) Any online retailers sell the other grades?

 

[Ram01]

That oil is hard to find

 

[Hessam]

I was at 2 different local walmarts during the past week, and couldn't find anything in PG aside from 5W-20 and 5W-30

 

[travlnman]

For a small nominal fee, I will clean out my local Ingles stash...and distribute to the highest bidder

 

[Gasbuggy]

nvm

Maybe if the makers of Pennzoil would seal their containers better more places will stock some of their other oils. I have heard a number of people say they don't always put a lot of their oils out because they don't like to keep cleaning oil up. Valvoline has nice tamper proof sealed containers why can't pennzoil??
