I heard that Pennzoil's synthetic oil is one of the worst synthetics you can get.
tofu1413
02-24-2010, 01:27 AM
^ naw. certain grades of castrol are worse from what i've seen. value "synthetics" at cambodian tire + walmart arent anybetter either.
this stuff + quaker + valvoline is pretty good for the mid priced syn oils.
it's always under 20 bucks at lougheed one, i've been using it year long

Not true.
Pennzoil platinum is one of the oils of choice in the Mazdaspeed community. UOA's posted by various users seem to back up it's good performance. It's what I'm running in my MS3.

For it's price, Pennzoil synthetic oil gets pretty good reviews from Bob the oil guy.
Also, all Walmarts had the 4.4 L jugs for $20 since last week. Hopefully they stocked up cause they were sold out at the Queensborough location on sunday.

One issue with Mobil 1 that is well documented is on the S2000's and their timing chain tensioners failing on cars that are using Mobil 1.
The biggest issue with Mobil 1 is that they are charging premium prices for dino oil. It's been talked about quite extensively on the net and on Revscene. You pay close to $40 for 4.4 L and $33 when on sale for 5 L.
The Pennzoil Platinum is $34 regular price for 4.73L at WalMart and right now the 4.4L is on sale for under $20.
Since you worked at a Mr. Lube and are such an expert on oil, please tell us why Pennzoil = meh?
If you want to do some reading up on oil, check this site.
http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/
pennzoil platinum euro formula is the one you want 5w40 aka shell helix ultra. else a cheaper alternative and good for guys who run boost is shell rotella t6 synthetic 5w40
fyi, shell owns pennzoil and quaker state. the 5w40 full synthetic euro formula stuff sold under both brands uses essentially the shell helix ultra base stocks. they have virtually the same specs and Cst flow rates if you look up the specs.
i have used the pennzoil euro formula and its decent.

i have never once actually said that i was some kind of expert because i worked at mr.lube, i simply stated that i worked there because of tofu's comment about working there. "pennzoil=meh" comment is mostly opinionated, but that link i provided does show that mobil 1 does perform better then pennzoil synthetic.
i wasnt aware of the problems with the s2000 timing chains and tensioners, has it actually been proven that the damage was done by the oil itself?...
mobil 1 charging premium prices for dino oil? mobil 1 is a full synthetic, their dino oil is sold under a different name, mobil super 2000 or something along those lines, its sold at a higher cost because its just the name thats on the bottle, its all a marketing thing. the oil itself is similar to the "esso" branded stuff you can buy.

yeah, mobil has their non synthetic mobil 1000 stuff, mobil 2000 being semi synthetic.
if you havent heard, i believe valvoline or someone along the lines like that, did a test on competitor oils and found mobil one to not even meet minimum required specs set by SAE (or something like that)
this news was like about a year ago, when i actually quit mr lube. now you are informed. we have no idea what happened after someone proved that mobil one is making sub standard synthetic oil.

Um, no it's not. Stop spreading mis-information. M1 mostly composed of a hydro-cracked GroupIII base stock. If you want a genuine full synthetic oil, then you have to look at Amsoil SSO, which is made of Group IV Polyalphaolefins.

Son, you better remove that fail you gave me cause you just FAILED yourself.
First off, it is a well know fact that M1 uses a mineral oil base that has been heavily processed to which it meets the criteria to call themselves a "synthetic" oil. Castrol was the first one to do it back in the 90's.
http://www.syntheticoildealer.com/a_defining_moment_for_synthetics.htm
Like what Liquidturbo said, a true "synthetic" oil is one made from synthetic base.
I know this is from Motul, but it gives you a good idea of what a true "synthetic" oil is.
http://www.motul-canada.com/en/faq/faq.shtml?panel=6
And yes, it is well known within the S2ki community about not using M1 as it will cause the TCT to fail.
BTW, true "synthetic" oils are made in Europe and cost at least $15 per quart. The cheapest one would be the German Castrol 0W30 which was on sale at CT a few months ago for $7 a quart.

To be fair, there is some truth to Pennzoil being not that great. Back in the 50's and 60's, Pennzoil was known for some wax/crud build up in engines, but today their oils are quite good.
I'd go and stock up on some more PP but I already have 12 quarts of the german Castrol 0W30 and 8L of Rotella 10W40.
All this is for the summer when I do track days.
And I also have some PP for my next oil change in 2000 km's.

Thats not a bad deal, I usually buy my oil when I go to the states. Most often the price is cheaper, and there is no Enviro tax etc...
I have a bit of a sickness where i tend to HOARD Oil whenever it goes on sale. There was a time when Superstore was clearing out their oil I bought:
30x1L Dino Quaker State for 44cents each- 5w20
Formula Shell 4- 6.99/4 liters x2
Quakerstate Q synthetic 15x4.4L- $12.99each
I filled up a whole shopping cart with just oil. My GF reaction was priceless.WTF!! haha
And the ultimate score ever was at Walmart Queensbrough- 5liters jugs of Quakerstate Dino both in 10w30/5w30 for 5 bucks each. Wiped out the whole inventory in multiple trips to and from the car. Had over 40 jugs in my car that time!!..

You are totally right. There is no concrete proof on the internet, but it is something that has been passed around for a while.
Either way, there is enough proof that the present day Pennzoil is good for it's price. :thumbsup:
