I have been using quite a few synthetic oils since purchasing my car new from Amsoil sig series,Royal purple,Redline,and now switched over to Pennzoil ulta platinum,seems like very good quality overall and have not sent a sample to blackstone for any oil analysis but at the current price on Amazon for 38.65 seems more like a winner without having to break the bank like many other full sythetics on the market. Z http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JMCCGDQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 BTW at the current sale price will probably stock up while the promotion is stll going on.

Nevermind, its only the platinum not ultra platinum
The platinum is still better then most in my opinion but you can order the ultra on their website I believe. I've been using pennzoil for years and have never once had an issue with their products. With all of my previous builds 5 builds in my mustangs and Cobras , I've always used the Dino oil for break in and kept using it up until they came out with the platinum and ultra platinum and then made the switch. Great stuff. After building my engines and running the Dino and then switching to the plat or UP I did notice that the motors always seemed a tad quieter as well as feels smoother. Have yet to send anything out to blackstone but I really don't feel the need to. Were I in an all out race car then yeah, I could see the benefit but for the average home mechanic habitual maintenance intervals is always the key to a long living and happy motor. My 2 cents. But I do love the stuff.

I hate oil posts like this....It's just that....2 lousy cents...Nothing scientific. As long as the sump is full, most of the time Wolf's Head and bottom barrel coastal oil will keep the motor running.
I always thought the most expensive over the counter "fake synthetics" were the best such as Castrol Syntec, Mobil 1 and so on until I read about group IV base stocks...Basically you either know about them or you dont'. And if you don't you are probably the guy that refuses to believe in extended drain intervals and believe in 3-5k oil changes because your grand daddy says that's the way to go
I do believe that true synthetic based oils hold up better as ajp says. I have been an Amsoil sig syn fan, but forgot my Amsoil at the last change... I have 100k mile prepaid Ford maintenance on the SHO. My dealer offers Penzoil ultra for a $20 option and it is actually better as far as volatility, which is my 1st concern after lubricity. PU is very comparable. The Amsoil I buy adds about $60 to each oil change... May have to switch for $40 saved each oil change. Since my dealer does the rest under the policy I do change every 5k miles.
I was looking at the Penzzoil site and ultra or ultra euro is not listed. Z http://www.pennzoil.com/motor-oil/ Explains the 10.00 off.
If you WANT to try the Ultra, this site still offers it:

Yes Sir The Dark Grey bottle.. My Advanced has the German Castrol and European Formula Penz Ultra.. its 0w-40 i think the one with the Ferarri Logo on it.. ITS SO TEMPTING lol
You could use a better oil like Amsoil and actually come out saving money with the longer intervals for changing it, all while treating your internals to a bath in the finest synthetics around.
A case (12 quarts) is good for 2 changes and can be bought for right at a $100 once signed up as a preferred customer ($10/6 months). So you're at $110 for the 5w/30 Sig series and PC account + about $10 shipping, equalling $120 for 2 oil changes worth. At $60 a change, you could easily double (triple would be no issue, but we'll just use double) the amount of miles taking your cost down to $30/change!!!
I personally went from Mobil 1 to Amsoil and couldn't believe the difference. Engine noise down at least 50 %, and she's running smoother than ever!
That is why I have become an independent dealer for Amsoil. In our high heat turbo applications Amsoil is a must IMO and the stats back it up.
I will be setting up a vendor area here shortly...was waiting to announce until I get all my ducks in a row.

Any questions feel free to ask, and there's a plethora of info through the links on the Amsoil websites.
Thx

WHEW!!!
