So watched a test video on oils and test of four(4) different pennzoil oils from synthetic blend to ultra platinum, etc. Synthetic blend, full sythentic, platinum and ultra platinum were tested.
Most expensive ultra synthetic performed best under most conditions.
However, the synthetic blend was also very good as other had their shortcomings.
The second most expensive platinum blend had the worst viscosity when cold and had the least amount of additives and protectants.
The cheap synthetic blend and full synthetic had better viscosity almost equal to the ultra platinum as well as way more additives than the platinum blend.
Sadly, those who dont want buy the most expensive and buy the middle tier priced oil are getting ripped off with inferior product thats wearing engine more so than a basic cheap synthetic blend.
As far as Pennzoil goes , better to buy Ultra (expensive) and if not, then just get the regular synthetic blend or the full authentic and avoid Platinum.
Have to question how all other brands oil lineups would protect engine. Not only a question of which brand motor oil is better but which selection within each brand is best.
Would be interesting to see the castrol lineup and mazda oils tested.
