Engine oil PENNZOIL or IDEMITSU

IDEMITSU Engine oil

I buy 5 OE Toyota filters at a time from Amazon ( approximately $6 ea ) Purchase Ow-20 Idemitsu oil from NAPA ( ships free to my home ) in the cost saving 6gal box ( 24 qts ) for about $125 with their online coupon. Use this in both my Avalon and my Tundra- both run like a dream.

Pros: cars run like a dream, cost-saving
Vehicle: Toyota Avalon

PENNZOIL Engine oil

I use PUP 0w20 in mine. Lots of tests and UOA show that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is the best non-boutique oil you can buy. But honestly any top shelf oil will work. 5k km intervals are more important than brand with a turbo engine.

Pros: best non-boutique oil
Vehicle: Toyota
Mileage: 5000 km

IDEMITSU Engine oil

So if you review the virgin oil analysis database, it includes idemitsu 0w-20 and 5w-30 and for both, the TBN is rather weak in comparison to other more readily available blends, also, the viscosity at 9.5 cSt for a 30w, some 20w come close to that. Does any of that matter? Not a whole lot, but it shows that there's nothing special about the oil. Generally speaking, higher TBN is better.

Pros: nothing special about oil
Cons: TBN is rather weak
