Opinions on Pennzoils new natural gas based oil?
http://www.pennzoil.com/motor-oil/pe...tic-motor-oil/
I was just wondering what everyone thought about this new oil. I personally used Mobil 1 Extended performance. I can't seem to find a oil analysis on it either. |

I just did a oil change on my 07 Tahoe that has 180 000 miles on and have been on synthetic oil since new with the pennzoil and so far love it seems like I got a little better gas mileage but will look more into it on my drive back from NY to FL.... might have to try it in the BRZ

I expect the new PU, PUPP, (Platinum Ultra w/ PurePlus) to be even better, inspite of it's higher NOACK. As someone who drives 100k miles per year and 600k miles per engine/vehicle, I am concerned about two things: intake valve deposits and piston ring coking. My 2 million+ miles of experience has taught me that. For me, PUPP will shine, unfortunately in 5W20. |

I put it in my BRZ on my last oil change. 400 miles later, I have 20 more horsepower, dropped 20 pounds and my girlfriend is now a supermodel. ITS AMAZING!

LOL. Do I detect some genuine Pennzoil love from the MoreTool crowd?
I don't care if you use Pennzoil Platinum Ultra with PurePlus to baste your turkey. And it won't shear either. Not temporary shearing or permanent shearing. I hope you score some. |

My point was that its just another oil. So far, so good. I'm not expecting anything to happen, good or bad.
I'm glad you have the wit to match, though

Well, I suppose it's not really a threadjack since oil threads usually cover 17 different topics.Google Gas To Liquid base stocks as well as checking out the Pennzoil Q&A in that link. Pennzoil has actually been using these base stocks since 2013, even though the label didn't change until recently. -Dennis Last edited by bluesubie; 07-01-2014 at 12:09 PM. |

I would be concerned about the high NOACK% numbers of the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum . At 12.5% (for 0W-20), it is much higher than the NOACK% number for the AMSOIL Signature 0W-30 of 7.6%.
