Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM Volkswagen

PENNZOIL Engine oil

Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum 5w20 and WIX 57060 (non XP) filter. I bought my truck with around 40k miles, it now has 90k and have had no issues with the motor changing the oil every 7500 per Blackstone's oil analysis I sent in not long after I took ownership.

Pros: no issues with motor
Mileage: 144840 km
Part number: 57060

PENNZOIL Engine oil

My dealership usually overfills my car and I do not think they use Toyota 0w-16 based on oil tests I have done. I do my own changes and switched from Toyota 0w-16 to Mobil 0w-16 and landed on Pennzoil presently and going forward.

Cons: switched to Pennzoil oil

Luckily modern oils are developed with this in mind. Costco/walmart/amazon oil is made by the same company, Warren oil. I think most people consider penzoil ultra platinum as one of the best.

Pros: Penzoil ultra platinum

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "

Pros: TBN still okay
Cons: aluminum and copper high
Mileage: 9979 km

I used Valvoline synthetic in my first SHO, and I am using Mobile 1 in my latest SHO. I tried Pennzoil in my 5.0 (Windsor) and all the lifters started clattering.

Cons: lifters started clattering
