I've used just about every brand of oil in my 50+ years. Just change your oil every 3.5-5k with full synthetic of your choice and you'll be fine.

I've used Mobil 1 for 40 some years and never had any engine issues in any of those vehicles. You converted me to Pennzoil Ultra for several years but with Pennzoil's unwillingness to be open about what their oil contains... I've switched back to Mobil 1. I've been using Mobil 1 0w30 Advanced fuel economy for a very long time since it came out around 2003. Thanks for your investigating Rich

Just talked to Pennzoil (Shell) customer service and he emphatically said P.U.P. was still formulated from natural gas. He said current MSDS has "made from natural gas" on it. When I asked why it's not on the bottle like it used to be, he said they decided to change the appearance of the bottle. Sounds like Pennzoil is "re-formulating" the truth.

You've spent so much time on doing the oil testing. Thank you for that Rich! Screw the haters! I'm going with Valvoline full synthetic from here on out.
