Got some 0w-20 Pennzoil Ultra yesterday.
UPD: probably Platinum, not Ultra.

tonystewart · 09-17-2012, 01:18 PM

I didn't know they were making that weight

dsgerbc · 09-17-2012, 01:36 PM

Me neither, just saw it on the shelf and got it.

What store did you buy this from?

dsgerbc · 09-17-2012, 01:54 PM

Wally-mart. Looking at specs, it was probably Platinum, not Ultra though.

Same boat. Good quality oil though that works!

I was wondering about that. Not sure if PU 0W-20 is in the US yet.

0W-20 G-Oil, full synthetic. I've run this in my 350Z and Evo X and it's been great. Since it's made from animal fat/plant oil instead of petroleum oil, I feel a little better about burning extra gas by driving with my foot to the floor all the time.

I believe the G-Oil uses all animal fat (beef tallow) instead of the animal/plant combo. Mmm, smells like hamburgers.

OEM/Subaru's Synthetic 0w-20. For now, it's fine for what I use the car for.

YourFearlessLeader · 11-27-2012, 04:37 PM

I just fill the engine with water every once in a while...
car has been fine!

Dezoris · 11-27-2012, 06:46 PM

0w-20 Redline for break in due to high moly content.
500-3500 miles

Yes, the automotive oil is beef tallow based. They have many other products that are also made from plant sources.
