Pennzoil ultra platinum

ZSHO · July 05, 2015, 10:52:46 AM

I have been using quite a few synthetic oils since purchasing my car new from Amsoil sig series,Royal purple,Redline,and now switched over to Pennzoil ulta platinum,seems like very good quality overall and have not sent a sample to blackstone for any oil analysis but at the current price on Amazon for 38.65 seems more like a winner without having to break the bank like many other full sythetics on the market. Z http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JMCCGDQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 BTW at the current sale price will probably stock up while the promotion is stll going on.

Nevermind, its only the platinum not ultra platinum

The platinum is still better then most in my opinion but you can order the ultra on their website I believe. I've been using pennzoil for years and have never once had an issue with their products. With all of my previous builds 5 builds in my mustangs and Cobras , I've always used the Dino oil for break in and kept using it up until they came out with the platinum and ultra platinum and then made the switch. Great stuff. After building my engines and running the Dino and then switching to the plat or UP I did notice that the motors always seemed a tad quieter as well as feels smoother. Have yet to send anything out to blackstone but I really don't feel the need to. Were I in an all out race car then yeah, I could see the benefit but for the average home mechanic habitual maintenance intervals is always the key to a long living and happy motor. My 2 cents. But I do love the stuff.

I hate oil posts like this....It's just that....2 lousy cents...Nothing scientific. As long as the sump is full, most of the time Wolf's Head and bottom barrel coastal oil will keep the motor running.

I always thought the most expensive over the counter "fake synthetics" were the best such as Castrol Syntec, Mobil 1 and so on until I read about group IV base stocks...Basically you either know about them or you dont'. And if you don't you are probably the guy that refuses to believe in extended drain intervals and believe in 3-5k oil changes because your grand daddy says that's the way to go

I do believe that true synthetic based oils hold up better as ajp says. I have been an Amsoil sig syn fan, but forgot my Amsoil at the last change... I have 100k mile prepaid Ford maintenance on the SHO. My dealer offers Penzoil ultra for a $20 option and it is actually better as far as volatility, which is my 1st concern after lubricity. PU is very comparable. The Amsoil I buy adds about $60 to each oil change... May have to switch for $40 saved each oil change. Since my dealer does the rest under the policy I do change every 5k miles.

Be sure to get Pennzoil Ultra, not Pennzoil Ultra Platinum for Amsoil SS comparability.

I don't think they make ultra anymore. Just platinum and ultra platinum. I can't find the ultra platinum at Walmart or advance auto. Just platinum

I did see an Ultra Euro product on Amazon, no idea if it is the "old" Ultra in new labeling.

I was looking at the Penzzoil site and ultra or ultra euro is not listed. Z http://www.pennzoil.com/motor-oil/ Explains the 10.00 off.
