Penzoil Platinum?
Is this oil highly regarded...is anyone using it or done a UOA on it?
Advance Auto Parts is selling it buy 1 get 1 each quart....which makes me leery of the stuff. BITOG has some info on it, just looking for some more.

Not claiming to know, but per those who know at BITOG, Pennzoil changed the formulation not too long ago. The first PP formulation was primarly Gr. V base oils, but from what I've read, PP is now a Gr. III based oil.

Knee jerk responses like this are not helpful. Discussing chemical makeup and testing results are. Just saying "its fine" or "its good" doesnt mean diddly squat. Anybody do OCI testing? Stating that you get knock with a certain formula is a good thing (although a bad situation I would be curious how "cold" to get).

I'm sure that oil is just as good as any other reputable synthetic. But I'll probably stick with my Mobil 1 for now.
