Rating 5.0

I use Pennzoil Platinum after FordBossMe turned me onto it and did some (quite detailed) review videos covering it versus the other ones such as Mobil1 and Valvoline

Pretty much as soon as I switched to Pennzoil Platinum (the one made from natural gas) my engine ***suddenly*** got noticeably quieter. Previously with the Mobil1 it was making faint clicking/lifter noise during the first few minutes of driving

Starts are quieter too, with the Mobil1 it made some light clatter/metallic-y noises on those very first 1-3 seconds of startup, but now with the Pennzoil Platinum it purrs up smoothly from the moment I turn the key

Pros: engine got noticeably quieter
Cons: Mobil1 made clicking noise

Project farm did a bunch of tests on all popular oil brands and amsoil won followed closely by pennzoil ultra platinum. The pennzoil is easier to get so that’s what I use on all my cars.

Pros: easier to get

AMSOIL Engine oil

Any major brand of the correct rating and viscosity will work.

That being said, I have an 05 that was used as a DD for 12 years. Short trips, 3 days a week. After 12 years and 47K miles, I added a aftermarket supercharger. Put another 20K on it, including trips to the drag strip and track days.

I then had it rebuilt with forged internals because I wanted higher boost and more power. When the engine was pulled apart and measured. There was no wear. The cylinders were still within factory specs as was the crank.

I had used Amsoil SS 0W-20 the whole time.

Pros: no wear, factory specs
Mileage: 47000 km

AMSOIL Engine oil

Here I am just dumping in Amsoil 5W-50 SSO because all I care about is shear wear protection and something content with high temp operation. 20,000 miles and not even a single psi drop in compression the whole time, don't even premix.

Pros: shear wear protection
Mileage: 32186 km

I've been running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in mine for a while now, and it's done me well. Just hit 200k miles on the odometer last week, so no issues there. Run a good oil filter (I prefer Wix XP) and good oil and you're fine.

Pros: no issues
Mileage: 321869 km
