Engine oil PENNZOIL or PETRONAS

PENNZOIL Engine oil

I've switched to Pennzoil Platinum Pure Plus. It's cheap, it's easy to find, and it's got those nice lubricating additives that our hot-running FA20 motors and Garrett turbos like.

Pros: cheap, easy to find

I have been driving for upwards of 50 years and have always had good luck with Pennzoil products. Pennzoil makes a 5W-40 full synthetic Platinum Euro which meets the VW 502 spec and has gotten good reviews from GTI owners.

Pros: good reviews
Vehicle: Volkswagen

PENNZOIL Engine oil

I'm running Pennzoil Ultra Euro L 5w30. It's a low saps oil that's vw 504/507 approved. However, because of the high sulphur in US fuels, you can't run this oil longer than 5k miles. A low saps/low volatility oil will greatly reduce intake valve deposits proven by lubrizol.

Pros: low saps, reduces valve deposits
Cons: limited to 5k miles

I've been alternating between the OE Castrol (with the free maintenance) and Pennzoil Ultra Euro 5W-40 (502 compliant and recognized/certified by Audi/VW) in 5,000 mile intervals. I've had both tested, and the TBN is higher on the Pennzoil and the viscosity always perfect (Castrol tends to read thinner than 5w-40 on the samples I've sent in for analysis).

Pros: high TBN, perfect viscosity
Cons: Castrol reads thinner
Mileage: 8047 km
